Ask, and you shall receive: I posted yesterday asking if there was a European equivalent to the #BirdMaps of #eBirdTrends and @piotr_kania refers me to the epic #EBBA2. #EuropeanBreeding #BirdAtlas.
And it's *incredible*
Here for example is the #European distribution of my blog's namesake the #ArcticTern...

European Breeding Bird Atlas
The European Breeding Bird Atlas is one of the most ambitious biodiversity mapping projects ever done. A total of 596 breeding bird species in Europe. A collaboration across political borders strengthening a network of 120,000 people and organisations who worked together in one of the biggest citizen science projects on biodiversity ever.
Epic dataset, beautifully presented - lots to dive into - and really shows the value of collating data from #CitizenScience into large databases - anyone know of there is a #European version of the #eBirdTrends map?

This week the Cornell Lab of Ornithology released fine scale population trends maps for over 500 North American #birds based on #eBird data. These maps are the culmination of several years of research and development by the #eBird Status and Trends team, and all this work was only possible because of the amazing community of eBirders who contributed 43.8 million checklists to the dataset we used to estimate population trends.
