I think its a simple question just need some clarification.

If we are doing a complete bird survey of an area after every 15 days (2 times per month), and say in the 1st survey we found 100 individuals of 10 species and in the 2nd we found 150 individuals of 12 species (10 species same like last but different number of individuals in 2nd survey) , what will be the Shannon diversity index for that whole month?

Should we take the maximum number of individuals from both surveys and find Shannon index?

And same in this way if we have data for one year how can we find Shannon Index for one whole year? 

Regards
