Study extent description: The study area presented in this dataset and studied in 2019-2023 period includes Irpin River from the village of Yaropovychi (Berdychiv district, Zhytomyrs'ka Oblast') to its confluence with the Dnipro River in the vicinity of the village of Kozarovychi (Vyshgorod district, Kyivs'ka Oblast'), as well as the valleys of its tributaries, in particular Gorenka, Unava, Rokach, Bobrytsia, Nyvka, Buchanka, Lupa, Kudelya.
The author expresses his gratitude to the co-authors of the descriptions: Yu. O. Kovalenko, S. S. Lyubchenko, M. Studzynska, O. Fomina, as well as S. V. Domashevsky for help in identifying certain species of birds. Particular gratitude is expressed to the NGO "Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group" for financial support.
My infinite gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the opportunity to finalize materials and hope for new research under the peaceful sky of independent Ukraine!
Sampling description: Records are listed in chronological order of description. Research was carried out with the help of route-point methods in various biotopes, using visual observation, using cameras and optical proximity devices (binoculars), and identification was carried out by the voices of birds. The material was collected during 38 route surveys, as well as during complex hydroecological and ichthyological studies on the Irpin River and its tributaries.
Quality control description: Autor is fully responsible for the quality of data shown in this dataset. In particular cases help of other ornithologists was used for more accurate species identification.
