We monitor the common birds of Sweden since
30 years. Birds are counted in summer and winter at hundreds of different
sites. Since the counts are carried out in the same way each year, we can
detect which species that increase or decrease in numbers.
The project is carried out at the Department
of Ecology, Lund University,
as a part of a national environmental monitoring project run by The
Swedish Environmental Protection Agency
The bird counts are mainly carried out by
volunteers, many of them members of the Swedish Ornithological Society
The project is the Swedish representative of
the European network for bird monitoring
