- Noctua Project The main objective of this program is to obtain the evolution of the population of the different species of nocturnal birds (birds of prey and preyers) during breeding season in Spain. This is a very poorly researched group at the time when fieldwork needs to be followed up. There are few species and are easily identified by anyone who can participate in this program. Participate
- Sacred project. The purpose of this monitoring program is to obtain population trends for common birds in spring. It is carried out with the participation of volunteers throughout Spain from April 15 to June 15. Participate.
- Paser project. The Paser program is based on the monitoring of bird populations through their capture and marking with rings. Provided information that is difficult to obtain through monitoring populations through census or mere non-capture, and is especially important for monitoring species tasks, longevities, how to migrate or aspects of their phenology, among other issues.
