At the very beginning it was difficult for me to implement randomization in collecting data, however other than that there was no difficulty in collecting the data as I was using random sampling strategy. The data collected wasn’t surprising as it seems to be supporting the hypothesis. In order to modify the approach, I kept on collecting more data to get better results to support the hypothesis and make the conclusion stronger. The only difficulty for me to collect the data was the weather as birds don’t get out of their place in every weather and the area where I am living the weather changes really quick.
Weather is an important consideration in any animal observation study. It would be nice to see more about how you dealt with the randomization that you found difficult in the beginning and what you are going to do about the weather issues you have come across.
