2 Coordination: Juan Carlos del Moral. Data analysis and editing: Virginia Escandell and Blas Molina. Attach edition: Emilio Escudero. Translation: Victoria Escandell. Citation: SEO/BirdLife 213. Results of the programme Sacre of SEO/BirdLife. SEO/BirdLife. Madrid. These results are from the analysis done by SEO/BirdLife from Sacre programme data (trends of the birds in spring) available until 212. This information exists thanks to the volunteer work done since 1996 by more than 2, people (regional coordinators and participants), who is heading the main thanks. More information on these monitoring programs SEO/BirdLife can be found at: Supported in 212 by:

4 METHODOLOGY Data have been obtained after analysing the results of the sampling units during two or more years between 1998 and 212 (1.124 u., fig 1). It is considered sampling unit each itinerary of 2 points recorded for the same person. The two first seasons of this monitoring programme (spring 1996 and 1997) have not been taken into account due they were when we began with this new methodology and the sampling units was not spread for the whole territory. Figure 1. Sampling units considered for the analysis of evolution of birds population. Analysis was made using the statistical programme TRIM (Trends and Indices for Monitoring data) of the application BirdSTATs v 2. with which we can obtain a better analysis because it enable us to carry our data of various species at the same time and automatically to select the type of regression lineal more suitable according to data available for each one. This tool has been specifically created to obtain the suitable birds population and which was recommended for EBCC (European Bird Census Council) for just this type of analysis. The showed information for the period it is referring to 153 species (fig.2). The new methodology were designed for 125 species of the SACRE programme and applied to obtain information regarding the trends of their population, but 18 species (scarce species) due to a reduced distribution and difficulty to detect them, data obtained are not enough and up to now results for analysis are not sure. Data are shown in a separate table so the information be analysed carefully. By the other hand, results of 28 species of no common birds (other species) are shown, though the methodology to detect their trends has not been designed specifically for them but it enable us to have enough information to have an idea and that is because we have added them. Also we have made a selection of a group of 25 species (common birds) of which we had into account three criteria: distribution, quantity, and well-known species. 1

6 BIO-GEOGRAPHICAL ZONES Five zones to scale macro-ecological with similar environmental terms have been analysed (fig. 3) with the goal of knowing what happens with the trend of birds population recorder in these zones. These zones have been classified in base to the revision of different bio-climate zones for different authors as Rivas Martínez, and Allué Andrade so as the obtained data for Carrascal y Lobo in the Atlas de las Aves Reproductoras de Spain. So the bio-climate zone dominate feature in each UTM Grid (Universal Transverse Mercator) of 1x1 Km so as its geographical position. So the bio-climate zones are established in base to the height and the same climate terms (temperatures and rains) and it determines the different plants. Figure. 3. Zones macro-ecological to analysing the trend of birds population according to different zones. Eurosiberian zone: Into this zone are the majority of mountains and hills of the north of Spain, in special the area cantabro-atlantica and small areas of the Pirineos and which have not a Mediterranean climate (66 UTM grids). High mountain zone: They are areas with height above 1.5 meters. The reference for this height is in base to the suggested for some writers who describe high mountain for height above sea leve1 more than 1.5 meters (53 UTM grids). North Mediterranean zone: It is the "Supramediterranean" zone of Rivas Martínez, also some areas of mountain below 1.5 meters and some UTM grids of Mesomediteranean due to its geographical situation (1.293 UTM grids). South Mediterranean zone: It almost coincides with the bio-climate Termomediterranean and Mesomediterranean and some utm grids of 3

7 Supramediterranean but which have been added to this zone due to its geographical situation (2.958 UTM grids). Canary island zone: The whole archipelago is considered as one only unit due it belongs to a different bio-geographical zone (Macaronesia: 157 UTM grids). We cannot show information because we have not enough coverage of sampling unit. We have selected for each zone representatives species with enough data obtained during the sampling units: Eurosiberian zone (87 sp), high mountain (49 sp) north mediterranean (16 sp) and south mediterranean (1 sp). 4

9 GENERAL RESULTS FOR SPECIES We show information about 153 species. 41 species have a negative trend of population and many of them show this trend during the last years (Southern Grey Shrike, Barn Swallow, Eurasian Jackdaw, Common Quail, Little Owl, etc.). For 22 species we cannot evaluate yet their trend because we find ups and downs in their populations which we have not a clear trend or we cannot evaluate it until we have enough data (scarce species or they have a reduced distribution). Species of common birds Though the three species of Grey shrike presents in Spain have a negative population, stand out the Southern Grey Shrike with a negative trend, decreasing each year, and it have place in all the areas (in special the Mediterranean north). Also we have detected a negative trend for the Common Quail, Little Bustard, Eurasian Jackdaw and Barn Swallow with percentages of a 4% less regarding the year Situation is stable for 32 species of which 2 have an uncertain result (Spanish Sparrow and Goldcrest). By the other hand, there are 39 species with positive trend, being very important the increase for the Eurasian Collared Dove coinciding with their expansion. Regarding species as the Common Chaffinch, Common Wood Pigeon and Blue Tit the trend is relatively positive. Species of more common birds The negative trends are for the Eurasian Jackdaw, European Serin and Barn Swallow. The Eurasian Jackdaw has a higher negative trend in the half north of Spain (Eurosiberian and North Mediteranean). It is important also to mention the negative trend for the House Sparrow, the same is happening with this species in other European countries as United Kingdom, (index calculated for a total of 25 countries). Zones In the Eurosiberian zone stands out the negative trend of the Common Kestrel and the already mentioned for the Eurasian Jackdaw. It is obtained a negative trend in the North Mediterranean zone finding three species with negative trend for Southem Grey Shrike, Calandra Lark and Eurasian Jackdaw, and 37 species with a moderate decline. Dipper and Garden Warbler show a negative trend in the Mediterranean south zone but they are scarce species and with a distribution limited to this zone. In this zone is important to mention the negative trend for species as: Common Quail, Sky Lark, Little Bustard, Southern Grey Shrike, Barn Swallow, Little Owl or European Turtle Dove. For the High mountain zone we do not have enough data of species joined to alpines zones as the Alpine Accentor, Bluethroat, Wallcreaper, Snowfinch. However, the Rock Thrush has the most negative trend while the Red-backed Shrike, Linnet and Yellowhammer their decline are very moderate. Our data are not enough to make an analysis of the Canary Islands. 6

10 Environment Species joined to farmlands continue showing negatives trends, while species joined to forest and bush give a positive trend. However, both the Woodchat Shrike joined to Mediterranean forest and the Southern Grey Shrike joined to bush zone have been detected a negative trend. In the farmland 15 species of birds show moderate decline which confirm us that some facts are influencing on a negative trend for the evolution of these species. Among them there are species that are subject to hunting pressure: Common Quail, European Turtle Dove and Common Partridge. In some areas the European Turtle Dove is becoming so scarce that every year less individuals can be detected and the negative trends can be recorded in the Eurosiberian zone as in both Mediterranean areas The situation for the Sky Lark and Little Bustard is worried due theses negative trends are detected in all areas. Species in danger One of the criteria considered for the UICN to classify if a species is in danger is the quick decline of its population and this is one information easy to obtain from data of the SACRE programme. Southem Grey Shrike, Common Quail, Eurasian Jackdaw, Barn Swallow, Little Owl, Calandra Lark, Dartford Warbler are species that together the Little Bustard must be considered in the category of "Vulnerable" because their population has a decline of more than a 3% during the last 14 years (fig. 6) however species as the Southern Grey Shrike is included as "almost threaten" yet. The Eurasian Jackdaw, the Barn Swallow, Little Owl, Calandra Lark and Dartford Warbler have not been evaluated yet Southern Grey Shrike Common Quail Little Bustard Eurasian Jackdaw Barn Swallow Common Kestrel Little Owl Calandra Lark Dartford Warbler European Turtle Dove Sky Lark Black-eared Wheatear Green Woodpecker ,29-43,6-4,98-39,24-37,36-33,86-56,63-53,32-3,3-29,27-26,5-25,12-21,94-8 Figure 6. of species with a big decline of population. 7
