Coloration and camouflage of eggs, nests and nest surroundings of three species of ground-nesting birds

This dataset contains the information of the article entitled “Individual egg camouflage is influenced by microhabitat selection and use of nest materials in ground-nesting birds” in which we investigated (using avian visual modelling) whether there was an active selection of microhabitats and nest materials in three ground-nesting birds (pied avocet, Kentish plover and little tern) to camouflage their eggs.
