145.3 l/m2 have been collected during March, mostly during Easter, according to ICTS-Doñana data. Rains come late for wintering, but will still be useful for waterfowl breeding. The annual hydrological cycle, which runs from September to August, has already accumulated a precipitation of 404.4 l/m2. This exceeds that of the three previous years at this time, but still does not reach the historical average per cycle, which exceeds 500 l/m2.

The dataset of the long-term monitoring of diurnal butterflies in Doñana is already available in the institutional repository of Council for Scientific Research (Digital.CSIC), in the biodiversity data infrastructure (GBIF) and in the research and monitoring site registry of metadata of the European long-term monitoring network (DEIMS-SDR).

Yesterday took place the first ringing of a chick of an European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) in Doñana. This is the first breeding record that has been confirmed for Doñana. Until now, there were observation records of adults in the breeding season, but nests and chicks had never been found in this natural area.

From 23 to 25 of May, wildlife monitoring experts from different European institutions in Europe, met in Brussels to discuss the results and evolution of the ENETWILD project, an initiative led by the Institute for Research on Hunting Resources (IREC) of the CSIC, in which the ICTS-RBD participates within the European Wildlife Observatory (EOW). ENEWILD started in 2018 and is funded by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The objective of the project is to harmonize methodologies for...

The analysis of carnivore trends in Doñana National Park (DNP), led by members of the ICTS-RBD monitoring team, reveals that the populations of 5 species studied in the park have evolved differently over the last 15 years.
