Sightings 2015

red is a rare or scarce species
green is early (first) or late sighting
blue is a high count
blue is a count that exceeds the 1% level

The 1% level is an indicator of the importance of a wetland area. If 1% of the total North-West European population of a bird species is present on a regular basis, the site is of international importance. See also "De 1%-soorten van de Meeslouwerpolder en de Vogelplas Starrevaart"  (in Dutch) and Population estimates and 1%-levels for waterbird species occurring in the Netherlands: suggestion for standardisation, P.L. Meininger, H. Schekkerman, en M.W.J. van Roomen, Limosa, 68(2):41, 1995.
