  1. Parameters are calculated on the number of breeding pairs for which data were complete for the entire season (pairs with NA data were discarded from the analyses). The * represents data that may not be exhaustive for the year under consideration. Values are reported as mean ± SD. The total number for each parameter is also reported. Complete data for breeding pairs were not available for 2013 and 2014
