Please select a county to view NEWS results

Select a NEWS region (county) to see a table of species occurring in that region with the regional count from NEWS and estimate for the non-estuarine coast.
On selecting a species, a regional map is displayed showing the maximum counts recorded during the survey for each NEWS sector. Species-specific coverage information is also displayed (if, for example, the intertidal habitat of a sector was covered, but seaward and landward habitats were not, the effective coverage for particular species will vary).
In addition to data from the latest 2015/16 survey, NEWS III, data on counts and coverage is also available from the previous surveys WSC (1984/85), NEWS I (1997/98) and NEWS II (2006/07).

Details of the methods and summary results are in: Austin, G., Frost, T., Mellan, H. & Balmer, D. 2017. Results of the third Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey , including Population Estimates for Key Waterbird Species. Research Report No. 697. BTO, Thetford. Link

WSC/NEWS Survey:

Display Map	Species Name	Head Count	Population Estimate

Important interpretation notes: head counts are not comparable between years, due to missing data and changes in the sectors covered by the four surveys. Some sectors contain more suitable habitat for a species than others. Extrapolating the head count to the un-surveyed coastline should not be attempted on the basis of the information presented here. Population estimates, where given, apply to the non- estuarine coast only.

For further details, see the NEWS III Research Report.
