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.).
