Annual report of the Seabird Monitoring Programme
Seabird Population Trends and Causes of Change: 1986–2023
This report presents the latest seabird population trends in breeding abundance and productivity using data from the Seabird Monitoring Programme (SMP).
The report documents changes in the abundance and productivity of breeding seabird species in Britain and Ireland from 1986 to 2023, and provides a detailed account of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 breeding seasons.

Latitudinal gradients in the productivity of European migrant warblers have not shifted northwards during a period of climate change
Author: Eglington, S. M., Julliard, R., Gargallo, G., van der Jeugd, H. P., Pearce-Higgins, J. W., Baillie, S. R. and Robinson, R. A.
Published: 2015
A long-term monitoring study involving bird ringers from five countries has investigated how changes in the reproductive output of seven species of migrant warbler vary with latitude and spring temperature. The implications for predicted changes in species distribution are also discussed.

Multi-species spatially-explicit indicators reveal spatially structured trends in bird communities
Author: Massimino, D., Johnston, A., Noble, D.G. & Pearce-Higgins, J.W.
Published: 2015
The BTO/RSPB/JNCC Breeding Bird Survey is the primary source of information about changes in national populations of over 100 bird species. Here we describe analyses of this dataset which has identified important spatial variation in population indicators, highlighting previously unreported declines in habitat specialists in southern and eastern Britain.
