European Red List of Birds 2015 Larus fuscus (Lesser Black-backed Gull) European Red List of Birds Supplementary Material The European Union (EU27) Red List assessments were based principally on the official data reported by EU Member States to the European Commission under Article 12 of the Birds Directive in 2013-14. For the European Red List assessments, similar data were sourced from BirdLife Partners and other collaborating experts in other European countries and territories.

  • British Birds
    Volume 64 Number 9 September 1971 British Birds North American waterfowl in Europe Bertel Bruun INTRODUCTION The natural occurrence of North American birds in Europe is a well- established fact substantiated by recoveries of ringed birds. The transatlantic crossings of waders and passerines have been excellently treated by Nisbet (1959, 1963) and, more recently, by Sharrock (1971). The waterfowl (Anatidae) have received less attention, however, and no attempt has previously been made to summarise their occurrences in Europe in relation to their migrations and distributions in North America. Analysis of the data on waterfowl is greatly complicated by the many escaped birds encountered so much more often in this family than in any other, which might explain the scanty treatment of trans­ atlantic vagrancy among this otherwise intensively studied group. Counterweights to the complication of escapes are the fairly large size and easy identification of ducks and geese, the many specimens obtained, and the relatively high rate of ringing returns. In this paper the records of Nearctic waterfowl in Europe are briefly discussed in the light of the distributions, migrations and habits of the species and subspecies concerned in North America. All dated records up to and including 1968 have been considered; undated records and any of birds seriously regarded as escapes have generally been excluded. So far as possible, all the records are listed with refer­ ences, but in some cases, particularly where there are more than ten in any country, they are summarised or tabulated by the months when they were first reported. Because of the establishment of feral popula­ tions in Britain and Sweden, the Canada Goose Branta canadensis has been omitted, although since about 1954 there have been a number of records of individuals of one or other of the small subspecies in Ireland (chiefly on the Wexford Slobs) and in Scotland (chiefly in the Hebrides) which seem almost certain to include genuine transatlantic 385 386 North American waterfowl in Europe vagrants.

Petitioners also request that Critical Habitat be designated for the Queen Charlotte goshawk concurrent with the listing, pursuant to 50 C.F.R 424.12, and pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act 5 U.S.C. 553. Petitioners understand that this petition action sets in motion a specific process placing definite response requirements on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and very specific time constraints upon those responses.

Here, we describe spatio-temporal patterns of population change of Herring Gull 27 (Larus argentatus), Lesser Black-backed Gull (L. fuscus) and Great Black-backed Gull (L. 28 marinus) in the British Isles from national censuses and survey data. The aim of this study 29 was to test for density-dependence and spatial variation in population trends as two possible, 30 but not mutually exclusive, explanations of population changes with important implications 31 for the understanding of these changes. Between 1969 and 2013 the three species showed 32 different population trends with Herring Gulls showing a strong decline, Great Black-backed 33 Gulls a less pronounced decline and Lesser Black-backed Gulls an increase until 2000 but 34 then a decline since.

Compiler(s): Ashpole, J., Burfield, I., Ieronymidou, C., Pople, R., Wheatley, H. & Wright, L. Assessment Rationale European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) EU27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) In Europe this species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). The population trend is not known, but the population is not believed to be decreasing sufficiently rapidly to approach the thresholds under the population trend criterion (30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern in Europe. Within the EU27 this species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). The population trend is not known, but the population is not believed to be decreasing sufficiently rapidly to approach the thresholds under the population
