Status and trends for individual bird species: Tenth UK Report for Article 12 of the EU Birds Directive (2008-2012)
This dataset summarises the status and trend for 319 bird species in the UK. These data formed part of the Tenth UK Report for Article 12 of the EU Birds Directive (2008-2012). The structure of the data corresponds to an agreed EU level format available here. http://bd.eionet.europa.eu/activities/Reporting/Article_12/reference_portal. Following public consultation and government sign-off, the final UK report was submitted to the European Commission in January 2014. The data in this dataset are structured into the following sections. 1. Species information 2. Population size 3. Population trend 4. Breeding distribution map and range size 5. Breeding range trend 6. Progress in work related to Species Action Plans (SAPs), Management Plans (MPs) and Brief Management Statements (BMSs) 8. SPA network overlaps The column headers have a numeric reference related to the above sections followed by a textual short title for each field. The reference portal gives further details of what all of these columns mean.

The tenth UK report under Article 12 of the Birds Directive follows a new format which gives major emphasis to reporting by Member States on the status and trends of bird species. It will provide a wealth of data to assess the efficacy not just of Directive’s implementation but also wider processes such as the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy as well as the Biodiversity Convention’s Aichi (2020) Targets . Further information about the background to the new report format and its rationale is available at http://bd.eionet.europa.eu/activities/Reporting/Article_12/reference_portal. The draft Article 12 report has been co-ordinated by JNCC and the country conservation agencies with inputs from ornithological specialists in the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) and the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) to ensure it fully represents the wide body of information available on UK birds and their conservation. The list of species for which reporting is required comprises all regularly breeding bird species in the UK, together with information from the non-breeding season essentially for those species (or populations) for which Special Protection Areas (SPAs) have been classified in that season either in the UK or elsewhere. Further details are available from the Explanatory briefing accessible through the following. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=6526
