2003, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :Even though it would present sampling difficulties (Rehfisch, 1998a) a survey of these species is a priority. Comparison of the new overall population estimates presented in this paper with those of Prater (1981), Moser (1987), Cayford and Waters (1996) is complicated by changes in methodology and coverage. Since the 1987/1988–1991/1992 Cayford and Waters population estimates, seven species of predominantly coastal wader have declined by >5% along the coasts of Great Britain (Eurasian oystercatcher, red knot, sanderling, purple sandpiper, dunlin, bar-tailed godwit and ruddy turnstone) while seven species have increased by >5% (pied avocet, ringed plover, grey plover, black-tailed godwit, Eurasian curlew, spotted redshank and common greenshank; Table 2).
Numbers of wintering waterbirds in Great Britain, 1994/1995-1998/1999: I. Wildfowl and selected waterbirds
2003, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :Primarily for the purposes of ensuring that sites are assessed against contemporary data, an international timetable has been agreed for the revision of population estimates every three years and the 1% thresholds derived from them every nine years (Rose and Stroud, 1994). The previous estimates of the number of waterbirds wintering in Great Britain used data from the period 1987/1988–1991/1992 (Kirby, 1995; Cayford and Waters, 1996). Here, we provide estimates for the period 1994/1995–1998/1999 and revise the 1% thresholds for importance at the level of Great Britain for waterbirds (birds in Northern Ireland are included within all-Ireland estimates for assessment of site importance in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland).
