Summary

This dataset contains information on individual birds caught at nestboxes or via mistnetting at 20 sites along a 35 km urban gradient in Glasgow, Scotland, 2014-2022. For each capture, we recorded the ring number of the individual, morphological parameters, whether samples were obtained and the sample number (blood, feather, faeces). The morphological measurements obtained were: Wing length (total length of the stretched wing, as per BTO guidelines), Weight (to the nearest 0.01 g), Tarsus length (using a caliper with 0.1 cm precision). Data were collected to investigate the effects of urbanisation on daily activity patterns, reproductive traits and population dynamics of passerine birds.
