The state of birds in Wales
The state of birds in Wales is an annual report giving an overview of the status of birds in Wales, from those that are still widespread and familiar to scarce birds of high conservation priority in Wales, the UK and Europe.
It includes both sedentary birds that are resident all year and those that wander widely or migrate vast distances annually to or from Wales. For some of these, such as breeding seabirds and wintering waterbirds, Wales is important for a large proportion of their international populations at certain stages of their lives.
With new data being collected annually, trends and long-term patterns are becoming clearer. This is highlighting the importance of conservation action for some species. However, a number of other species remain infrequently or inadequately monitored, and some of these are Principal Biodiversity Species.
