The researchers recorded birds in 72 city parks across 9 mid-sized cities in Hungary and Romania. In each city, eight sampling sites were delineated: two city parks located in the central part of the cities, two city parks in suburban areas, and four reference areas in the outer, less urbanised, so-called peri-urban areas.
The team conducted bird surveys using point counts during the peak breeding season (April–May), in the early morning hours, with two repetitions. The researchers surveyed more than 3,000 birds representing 72 species.
