Waterbirds in the UK presents the summarised results of the annual WeBS report, and full data available via the WeBS Report Online. It provides a single, comprehensive source of information on the current status and distribution of waterbirds in the UK for those interested in the conservation of the populations of these species and the wetland sites they use.

Dedicated to the memory of GEORGE ATKINSON-WILLES, 1922 - 2002 who pioneered waterbird monitoring in this country and internationally. Many conservation achievements and success have arisen from these data over the last 50 years, yet the schemes and their application, even today, remain based on the same foundations that George established at Slimbridge.
