Map of Victoria with locations of swooping birds populated by the public

The dataset is populated by the public as they encounter swooping birds during their nesting season. People are asked to pinpoint the location on the map, state the date the swooping occurred, species and number of birds involved and provide additional comment. The map is provided to inform the public of swooping bird "hot spots" so that they can prevent impacts from swooping birds, by avoiding areas temporarily. It is also useful for DEECA to gather intelligence on potential problem birds that may require management. The dataset contains records of swooping birds, displayed on a map of Victoria, including information on date of incident, location, species and number of birds implicated, and any additional comments about the incident.

本数据集由公众在鸟类筑巢季遭遇俯冲鸟类时填报生成。公众需在地图上精准标注事件发生位置、说明俯冲事件的发生日期、涉事鸟类的物种与数量，并可补充相关备注信息。该地图用于向公众公示鸟类俯冲的‘热点区域’，以便公众通过临时避让相关区域，规避俯冲鸟类带来的影响。同时，该数据集也有助于DEECA收集需开展管控的潜在涉险鸟类的相关信息。本数据集收录了维多利亚州地图上标注的俯冲鸟类事件记录，涵盖事件发生日期、位置、涉事鸟类的物种与数量，以及事件相关的补充备注内容。
