This is a dataset for identifying UK bird species that is actively being added to. Currently 36 of the planned 250 (14.4%) of the bird species have been labelled and added. (Last Modified - 13/05/2024)

Current model active on this site is trained for 100 epochs on 25 species.

Process: - List of ~250ish UK birds - Use a program to search google for the first 100 images of the latin name of the bird - Manually remove inaccurate images - Label primary bird species (and occasionally secondary species)

Main issues: - Under-representation of female birds in a small number of species - Under representation of non-mating season birds in a small number species - Under-labelling of secondary bird species in a small number of cluttered images - Due to inaccuracies of google image search, some bird species are under-represented, such as the whooper swan

Even with all these "issues", it results in a fairly good bird identifier.

The estimated number of ornamental birds owned by households in the United Kingdom has fluctuated each year since 2010. As of 2023, the number of ornamental birds stood at about *** million, the same as the previous year.

An updated version of this dataset is available at: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/wild_bird_populations_in_england Overall breeding bird populations in England have changed little compared with 40 years ago. In 2010 they were just above what they were in 1970, following a small decline of 1.5 per cent in the most recent five years, from 2004 to 2009. However this masks considerable variation between individual bird species and groups of species that share the same broad habitats.

This statistic shows the estimated number of indoor birds kept as pets in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010/11 to 2021/22. The population of indoor birds in the UK was estimated to total *** million in 2021/22.

This dataset comprises bird abundance data collected using point count methods in Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes in the summer of 2013. The purpose of the study was to characterise the variation in breeding bird fauna across a range of urban forms. As well as measuring the birds that were 'really' present, the survey aimed to investigate the birds detectable at times of day when people were more active and more likely to have casual encounters with them. These data were collected as part of the Fragments, Functions and Flows in Urban Ecosystem Services (F3UES) project, as part of the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) framework.

Trends in populations of selected species (wild birds)

United Kingdom UK: Bird Species: Threatened data was reported at 11.000 Unit in 2017. United Kingdom UK: Bird Species: Threatened data is updated yearly, averaging 11.000 Unit from Dec 2017 (Median) to 2017, with 1 observations. United Kingdom UK: Bird Species: Threatened data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United Kingdom – Table UK.World Bank.WDI: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Birds are listed for countries included within their breeding or wintering ranges. Threatened species are the number of species classified by the IUCN as endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate, out of danger, or insufficiently known.; ; United Nations Environmental Program and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and International Union for Conservation of Nature, Red List of Threatened Species.; Sum;

Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention. This dataset contains details for all qualifying bird species (of international and national importance) for all designated Ramsar sites within the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies. The majority of UKs sites are established for internationally important populations of non breeding waterfowl though some sites have no qualifying ornithological interest. 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"

This dataset contains summary breeding bird data on RSPB reserves in the UK as part of annual monitoring undertaken by RSPB staff and volunteers. Each species record is the breeding population of the whole reserve area in the given year and presence records have been given where it was not possible to survey the entire area. RSPB reserve boundaries are available on the NBN as a geographical dataset.

The dataset provides a list of the wild birds identified and submitted under both passive and active (targeted) surveillance programmes in Great Britain for testing for Avian Influenza by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). The main emphasis in the surveillance programmes is on patrols of designated reserves by skilled wild bird ecologists and wardens to locate “found dead” wild birds, including “mass mortality incidents”. These Warden Patrols continue all-year-round, and are also seasonally targeted in the winter and spring periods (October to March) each year. Members of the public are also asked to remain vigilant for mass bird mortality incidents occurring in any location in GB and report these to the Defra Helpline. The criteria for a “mass mortality incident” are five or more wild birds of any species at any location in England, Scotland and Wales. The dataset contains information on the identity of the bird, the date, location and which samples were taken from those birds and their test results. Please Note: The location represents a 10km x 10km square in which the bird was found. Location data is provided by the submitter and is not verified and, if no location information is available, the location of the testing laboratory may be used.

This spreadsheet is the underlying data for the biodiversity indicator C5, Birds of the wider countryside and at sea.

Bird populations have long been considered to provide a good indication of the broad state of wildlife. Birds occupy a wide range of habitats and there are considerable long-term data on changes in bird populations, which help in the interpretation of shorter-term fluctuations in numbers. As they are a well-studied taxonomic group, drivers of change for birds are better understood than for other species groups, which allows for better interpretation of any observed changes. Birds also have huge cultural importance and are highly valued as a part of the UK’s natural environment by the general public.

The indicator shows changes in the breeding population sizes of common native birds of farmland and woodland and of freshwater and marine habitats in the UK.

The indices show the year-to-year fluctuation in populations, reflecting the observed changes in the survey results, and smoothed trends, which are used with their confidence intervals to formally assess the statistical significance of change over time. Smoothed trends reduce short-term peaks and troughs resulting from, for example, year-to-year weather and sampling variations.

This is one of a suite of 24 UK biodiversity indicators published by JNCC on behalf of Defra; the latest publication date was 19 January 2016 - for indicator C5 the latest data are for 2014. The supporting technical document details the methodology used to create the indicator.

This dataset shows the total number of Salmonella isolations and incidents in wild birds on GB Premises in 2014. The data is grouped by Salmonella subspecies, the numbers of isolations and incidents are given, and the whole is grouped by year. An 'isolation' is defined as the first report of a salmonella isolate (a cultured instance of Salmonella from a sample) from a known group of animals on a single occasion. An 'incident' is the confirmation of the same Salmonella type on one or more occasion within a set time period (usually thirty days), and within the same group of animals or same location. The laboratory facilities are UKAS accredited to BS EN ISO 17025:2000 (Lab Nos. 0941, 1769 and 2112) for an extensive range of tests supported by proficiency testing accredited to ISO/IEC Guide 43-1 1997 (Lab No. 0004). APHA is certificated to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 for ‘the provision of a range of specialist veterinary scientific services to the Government and other interested parties worldwide’ (Certificate Nos. LRQ 4000436, 4001071, 0962413 and 4001392). Additionally, APHA holds Good Laboratory Practice and Good Manufacturing Practice approval and complies with the Joint Code of Practice for Research projects and Good Clinical Veterinary Practice quality standards. APHA Weybridge is accredited to BS EN ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management system.

The Bird Conservation Targeting Project (BCTP) produces breeding distribution maps for a suite of rare and declining farmland and woodland birds. The maps can be used to guide the prescription of land management advice based on the species already breeding in an area, or for allocating funding towards sites known to be important for birds. The data cover a 5-year period, and are up-dated annually. Data are collated a wide range of sources to produce the most comprehensive maps possible. The data are displayed as presence-only records. Absence of a record does not necessarily indicate a true absence record, as there may be no data available. Data compiled in different years should not be used to analyse trends, as the amount of data available to the project varied from year to year.

BCTP outputs were first produced in England in 2004, in Wales and Northern Ireland in 2008, and in Scotland in 2009. This dataset contains the non-sensitive records from 2001 - 2008, which were compiled in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. These are archived data. For targeting purposes, the current data (available in a separate dataset) should be used. The non-sensitive records are in a separate dataset on the NBN.

The species selection varies in each country. There are sensitive records for 3 species in England, 4 species in Scotland, 4 species in Northern Ireland, and 2 species in Wales.

The BCTP is a partnership between the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR), the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), Forestry Commission England (FCE), Forestry Commission Wales (FCW), Forest Service (FS), Natural England (NE), Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The BCTP partners are grateful to the contributions of the data providers listed at www.rspb.org.uk/targeting.
