Lesser Spotted Woodpecker sample survey in England 2007

A total of 70 woods were surveyed for occupancy by Lesser spotted woodpecker in 2007. Woods were also surveyed for habitat, Great spotted Woodpecker occupancy and Grey Squirrel density. Data were analysed together with data from previous studies in the 1980s to investigate factors affecting Lesser spotted Woodpecker occupancy. This dataset contains presence/absence records for all surveyed woods along with breeding status. Records are given at 100m resolution which represents the centroid of the transect route through the wood. Work was funded by RSPB and Natural England
