The European Non-Estuarine Coastal Waterbird Survey (Europe-NEWS) represents the first co-ordinated survey of waders wintering on the continent’s non-estuarine coasts. Here, we briefly outline the background to the survey, geographical and species coverage, and survey methods. The differing methods used to generate population estimates are also described and information provided for interpretation of country accounts.
