Pan-European
Common Bird Monitoring Scheme
The Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS) ‘s main goal is to use common birds as indicators of the general state of nature using large-scale and long-term monitoring data on changes in breeding populations across Europe. Read more about us.
Source of the data: EBCC/BirdLife/RSPB/CSO
The latest data on European common birds shows a continued decline of European farmland birds, while the common forest birds are more or less stable over the last 10-15 years.

Note: | The German Rare Breeding Bird Survey coordinated by the Federation of German Avifaunists started in 1977 with six species. Since than species set continuously expanded. After 1990 the German Rare Breeding Bird Survey was combined with the monitoring programmes of the former German Democratic Republic. Methods of the scheme vary, depending on the species group surveyed (territory mapping within census areas, transect counts, tape-luring at fixed stops, colonial counts etc.). |

The recommendation to suspend hunting temporarily from 2021, made by an international consortium of scientists led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has allowed a rapid population recovery in this threatened species.

The project, funded by the EC, focuses on developing bird indicators for the EU, improving data collection and analysis, and contributing to bird conservation efforts, including the protection of the Turtle Dove and the development of novel indices like the Urban or Mountain Bird Index.

The intensity of agriculture in seven countries that entered the EU in 2004 and 2007 increased after the accession. Population trends of farmland birds started to decline, and the population levels reached lower levels than before the accession. The paper suggests that the adverse impacts of agricultural intensification overrode the possible benefits of EU policy measures aimed at supporting biodiversity.

The Common Starling is a numerous and widespread European farmland breeding bird. Starlings are predominantly grassland invertebrate feeders, often breeding in association with human habitation. The population is declining in Europe, however with a contrasting increase in Central-Eastern Europe compared to a decline in the rest of the European regions. The major declines in farmland Starling breeding abundance have been linked to the general intensification of European agriculture as the species is dependent on grazed grassland and meadow areas.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow populations showed a moderate decline in the 1980s and 1990s mainly due to agriculture intensification. So did also its more common relative House Sparrow. However, more recently both species have been stable.

The wild bird indicator also includes wetland species, such as Common Snipe which has been moderately declining. However, the species has an extremely large range and its population size is also large so the species is evaluated as Least Concern under the IUCN criteria.

The population of Sardinian Warbler is stable. This is one of the most generalist Mediterranean warblers, present in many types of warm habitats. The species' ecological flexibility could explain their population dynamics in changing Mediterranean landscapes. It benefits from land abandonment, recolonizes burnt areas just a few years after the fire, and has adapted to urbanized environments much better than other warblers.
