The assessment of breeding population short-term trend at the level of country is here presented in the spatial dataset that contains gridded birds distribution data (10 km grid cells) as reported by EU Member States. The tabular dataset includes information on population size and trends for birds populations, pressures, and threats and the population status and trends at the EU level.

The dataset covers the EU 28 (Terrestrial and Marine) and corresponds to the period 2013 to 2018. From the single MS reports one European distribution dataset with 10x10 km grid cells was produced. Additionally, the country name was added to each cell. The entire dataset was then aggregated based on Code and Country. All data was supplied under the Article 12 (Birds Directive 2009/147/EC) reporting process.
