Winter bird censuses in pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) monitoring plots

This dataset contains censuses of winter birds performed in a series of pine forest plots distributed throughout the Granada province (SE Spain). The plots are part of a monitoring network to study the phenology and intensity of defoliation by pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa), a lepidopteran that occasionally causes severe defoliation in Mediterranean pine forests. Although the initial objective is to seek for a relationship between the presence and abundance of pine processionary moth and birds that can potentially feed on it, the data can be useful for other purposes.
