Wader populations on the UK’s open coast: results of the 2015/16 Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey (NEWS-III) and a review of population trends

Author: Humphreys, E.M., Austin, G.E., Frost, T.M., Mellan, H.J., Boersch-Supan, P., Burton, N.H.K. & Balmer, D.E.

Published: 2021

The research used data collected by volunteers participating in the Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey (NEWS), which takes place approximately once every decade. Sites monitored by NEWS include those used by specialist species such as Turnstone, Ringed Plover and Purple Sandpiper. Many of these birds occur in internationally important numbers in the UK, yet the remote nature of much of our non-estuarine coast means that it is a habitat which is poorly monitored by the year-round Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS).
