Our group (4 people) is studying several questions about the evolutionary
biology of a population of spotless starlings (Sturnus unicolor) nesting in
boxes in an oak wood 50 km. from Madrid. We are looking for field assistants
with some field experience in bird ringing and observation. Work
will involve capturing, measuring an ringing adult birds and nestlings,
setting video cameras in nest-boxes and scoring behaviour from tapes and
direct observation.
Our fieldwork extends from late March to early July. We are willing to
accept people that could stay for periods of at least two months within
that time. We can offer free accommodation in our nearby field station as
well as a weekly contribution towards food expenses.
