POPULATION TRENDS OF COMMON EUROPEAN BREEDING BIRDS
The European Bird Census Council (EBCC) has published a leaflet summarising population trends of European birds in the time period 1980 - 2009. The information has been culled from the national monitoring programmes run by volunteers, including the common breeding bird census (SACRE) of SEO/BirdLife. This proves the importance of collaborating in projects of this type, due to the knock on conservation effect at European level. To download the leaflet, just click here.
