The dataset presents data used on the Ramsar Information Sheets compiled for all Ramsar sites. This dataset contains the following columns. SITENAME SITECODE COUNTRY SITE STATUS - always classified/designated INTEREST STATUS - either internationally or nationally important NOWAK CODE - standard species code used in international reporting BIRDNAME LAY_TITLE - common name SEASON COUNT UNITS - individuals or pairs Pop UNITS count and unit together eg 4345 i YEAR - count period for bird counts CRITERIA_DESC - description of the population proportion - proportion ie % of total population assemb component - Y = component of assemblage X_COORDINATE - easting Y_COORDINATE - northing Note that Overseas Territories Birds are not included here - details of these are available within the dataset "UK Ramsar sites"
