Summary
A large effort has been spent on mapping the nest sites of complete populations of a bird species within a study area. This paper considers how such maps have been summarised, in particular the problems of extracting simple summaries which can be related to habitat measurements. This is a difficult problem in spatial statistics, compounded by the patchy nature of most habitats.
