  1. The explanatory variables were occupancy of the same nest in the previous year by an individual (Nest_last_year), age and its quadratic term (Age, Age^2 respectively), sex of an individual, number of reproductive events of an individual on the particular nest (No_repr_events), natural logarithm of length of hydrological network (Hydro_network), cover of human-altered habitat (Human_altered), cover of arable lands (Arable_land), cover of pastures and meadows (Pastures), cover of other agricultural lands (Other_agri_lands), average precipitation (PPT_av) and minimum temperature (TMIN_av) during the breeding season and interaction between sex and number of reproductive events (Sex:No_repr_events). For binary variables Nest_last_year and Sex the presented values are for consecutively occupied nests and males, as unoccupied nests and females are treated as a reference (the estimates are equal to 0). Significant results (p < 0.05) are in bold
