Type of the collection
Monitoring scheme observationsCollection description
Database on nests of common Birds of Prey (diurnal raptors, owls). Includes details of the nest, nest site, nest condition, nest visits and the breeding result. Does not cover species that have their own nest monitoring programs (Osprey, White-tailed sea eagle, Golden eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Gyrfalcon) even though single observations may be included. (en)
Yleisten petolintujen (päiväpetolinnut, pöllöt) pesärekisteri. Sisältää tietoa pesästä, pesäpaikasta, pesän kunnosta, pesällä käynneistä ja pesimistuloksesta. Pesärekisteri ei kata petolintulajeja, joilla on oma pesäseurantansa (kalasääski, merikotka, maakotka, muuttohaukka, tunturihaukka), vaikka näistä voi olla yksittäisiä tietoja. (fi)

4Basis for concealment or quarantine
Contains data on exact nest sites of raptor species some of which are threatened in Finland and/or included in Annex 1 of the European Union's Birds Directive. Reasons for data concealment include threats of persecution, collecting and unauthorised nest visits. Embargo is 0 years temporarily during the 4th Breeding Bird Atlas of Finland (2022–2025), otherwise it is 4 years due to threats and research purposes. (en)
Sisältää pesäpaikkatietoa petolinnuista, joista jotkin lajit ovat uhanalaisia ja/tai sisältyvät Euroopan unionin lintudirektiivin liitteeseen I. Vaino, keräily tai asiattomien pesällä käyntien uhka ovat aineiston salaamisen syitä. Aineiston aikaviive on tilapäisesti 0 vuotta Suomen neljännen lintuatlaksen ajan (2022–2025), muutoin aikaviive on uhkien ja tutkimuskäytön vuoksi 4 vuotta. (fi)

02.01.2024 08:40Sensitive observation data have undergone obfuscation including spatial aggregation so that precise locations and other sensitive information is not publicly available. The precise location, place names, dates, names of observers and other information may have been obscured or removed. Read more about sensitive observations.
Data may have a research embargo (usually 2–4 years), during which data may have been hidden or obscured as described above. Data producer-owners may have chosen to permanently obfuscate all or part of their data.
To gain access to non-obscured data, you may make a data request. Non-obscured data is also available to Finnish authorities
