Table A1. Results of Test 2.Ct of RELEASE transformed in z values (see methods) separated by years and seasons. This tests whether birds seen on any given occasion are more or less likely to be seen at the next occasion compared to those not seen then. This is a test of short-term dependence in sighting probabilities, i.e. between consecutive events (positive sign = positive dependence).
