Sažetak
The Croatian Common Farmland Bird Monitoring Scheme was initiated in 2014, which was a pilot-year. The scheme uses a semi-random method of point-transects. In each chosen 10×10 km grid cell we defined two transects, with 9 counting points placed along each of them. In 2015, the survey was repeated, and the number of survey plots had almost doubled. We surveyed 52 10×10 km grid cells at 936 points along 104 transects, and recorded information on 171 bird species. Their abundance and frequency at survey points recorded in both years were compared and lead to the selection of 37 common farmland bird species which will be used for the future calculation of the Common Farmland Bird Index in Croatia.
