Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme

Source of data: national/regional monitoring schemes

www.ebcc.info/pecbm.html

27 countries, 163 species in 2014

1km 500m

Standardised methods Volunteer fieldworkers > 11 000

(B) Weighted population trend of species predicted to lose range in response to climatic change (92 species)

Species predicted to decline are already declining Species predicted to increase are already increasing

New European Breeding Bird Atlas (EBBA2) Commenced in 2012 Will be finished by 2020

Pilot data collation 2014

SLIDE 10

Difficult countries: Russia (c. 40% of Europe)

Complete data Qualitative data Data for a part of the square Data have been promised

by Mikhail Kalyakin & Olga Voltzit

SLIDE 11

Online bird portals

Diversity of online bird data gathering platforms in Europe

EuroBird Portals (EBP) Initiative

SLIDE 12

Goal

To describe large scale spatiotemporal patterns of bird distribution (seasonal distributional changes, migratory patterns, phenology) and their changes over time.

Barn swallow spring migration front (preliminary approach)

SLIDE 13

Our vision

To know bird numbers and distribution
To understand changes
To make decision makers to use the

information properly

Integration of censuses, atlases and portals
Need feedback from policy
Need support

Our thanks go to numerous amateur ornithologists who count birds in field for national monitoring schemes.
