Figure 3. (a) Bird abundance by pond management and season, (b) bird species richness by pond management and season, (c) conservation priority (red and amber) bird abundance by pond management and season and (d) abundance of aerial insectivores by pond management and season. Boxplots show median, upper and lower quartiles, with data falling outside Q1–Q3 range plotted as outliers. Statistical significance of Mann–Whitney tests denoted by P < 0.001 ***, P < 0.01 **, P < 0.05 * and ns = not significant.
