Dear Diego,
I'm sure Michael Schaub can give you some additional advice, but you can use a binomial instead of a Poisson if the productivity (as is your case with the griffon vulture) is going to be between 0-1.
Regards,
José

Good morning,
It is certainly a good suggestion to use the binomial instead of the Poisson, perhaps this helps already. However, there may be too little information in the data because it seems that in some years where there is no productivity data, there is no count data. If this is the case (too little information), you may want to make your model more robust by introducing additional assumptions. For example, you could assume that productivity in the years with missing (productivity) data is the same as the long-term average that you estimate from the years with data.
Best
Michael
