Metoda raziskovanja/Survey Method

Sama infrastruktura krajine omogoča sistematsko postavitev točk iz katerih se posluša oglašanje, večina poljskih poti je namreč vzporednih z medsebojno razdaljo 200m-300m. Na karti predela lovišča so bile izrisane posamezne trase z točkami, na katerih smo poslušali oglašanje. Glede na dosedanje izkušnje in v izogib morebitnemu podvajanju štetja parčkov so bile trase in točke poslušanja  medsebojno oddaljene 600 m . Po dosedanjih izkušnjah osebja lovišča je namreč v ugodnih pogojih možno slišati oglašanje jerebic tudi na razdalji preko 200 m. Na ocenjenih 1.600 ha površine je bilo določeno 19 rut z dvema, ali tremi točkami poslušanja. Preštevanja se je udeležilo 14 članov Slovenske zveze za sokolarstvo in zaščito ptic ujed, pomagali pa so tudi 4 zaposleni v lovišču. Preštevanje smo  pričeli na vseh rutah ob 19:40 , na posameznih točkah smo poslušali 5 minut.

Monitoring is carried out on selected routes. These routes have marked points of listening that lie 300 meters apart from one another. On route has 2-4 listening points. Because hunting ground is mostly farmland, the field routes are systematically divided apart and 300 meters. Therefore planning of the monitoring is not difficult. Professional hunters have also taken into account their own experience from previous years of monitoring. According to their estimates advertising calls of the Grey Partridge male can be heard at a distance over 200 meters. In order to avoid duplication of counted calls the routes were planned 600 meters apart from one another. For simultaneous monitoring on large hunting ground many experienced hunters and falconers are needed.
