Birds in Europe

Population estimates,trends and conservation status

Published by Birdlife

This book is the second review of the conservation status of all wild birds in Europe. Like its 1994 predecessor, Birds in Europe, it identifies priority species (known as Species of European Conservation Concern or SPECs) in order that conservation action can be taken to improve their status. Full population data is included on all 526 species regularly occurring in Europe. Half a page is devoted to each species, including an illustration, distribution map, population and trends data, status information, and a concise summary of its status across Europe.
