Methods

The wood was visited once in the first half of each month from March to June or July, and the position of each singing male was marked on a map. Some extra counts were done at the end of April and May. The cesuses were usually done between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.. From the positions of singing males, the distribution of territories was mapped. A territory partly outside the boundary of the study area was recorded as a half. Number of singing males per species was reported.
