Bird Census News 36/1–2

This Bird Census News issue focuses on what kind of additional taxa monitoring than birds is conducted in European bird monitoring programs based on a questionnaire to the national scheme coordinators. The questionnaire revealed that quite a few European countries already have ongoing mammal monitoring in their surveys and can calculate population trends for several species.

We present six national case studies on how countries have adopted mammal monitoring in their bird surveys, including analyses and results.

Finally, the BCN also introduced an EBCC board member – Mark Eaton.
