Seabirds

Since 2000, the number of seabirds breeding around the UK have declined by over 600,000 or 9%.

Observers at many seabird colonies throughout Britain reported a later than average breeding season in 2006.

Throughout most of the UK, breeding seabirds were only slightly more sucessful in 2006 than they were in 2004 and 2005, which were the worse seasons on record.

This annual report presents the monitoring results of the Seabird Monitoring Programme in 2005 and compares these findings with previous years. The aims of the report are to draw attention to notable changes in seabird numbers or breeding success (which may merit direct conservation action or further research), to provide feedback to those who collected the data, and to place the findings for individual colonies or regions in a wider context.

The 2004 breeding success was he worst on record for some of the UK's commonest seabirds. The report presents the results of the monitoring seabird populations in 2004 and makes comparisons with previous years.
