This talk presents practical workflows for using Mergin Maps to support bird monitoring in field conditions. It is aimed at beginner/intermediate users, who want to find new solutions for existing data collection issues or more structured and efficient workflows.
Drawing on real-world use cases, the presentation will demonstrate how Mergin Maps is used for nest monitoring, bird sighting data collection, and maintenance of acoustic monitoring stations. The focus will be on how to design field-ready data collection forms in QGIS, synchronize data between devices and desktop environments, ensure consistency across field teams, and create data-driven visualizations that highlight key information to support planning and decision-making in the field.
The session will highlight lessons learned from deploying these workflows in practice, focusing on how we addressed specific challenges through practical solutions. Attendees will see concrete examples they can adapt to their own ecological or conservation projects.
