Article
Full-text available
The paper (in French) described the results of long-term monitoring of Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) communal night roost in Southern Belgium (Wallonia and Brussels).
Article
Full-text available
Mapping the relative risk of impact on nature by a human infrastructure at a landscape scale (“sensitivity mapping”) is an essential tool for minimising the future impact of new development or for prioritising mitigation of existing impacts. High-voltage power lines (“transmission lines”) are known to increase bird mortality by collision. Here we p...
Article
Full-text available
The Red List of Threatened Birds of Wallonia has been compiled from numerous data from population monitoring programs, participatory science portals and recent specific surveys. The status of 151 native species breeding for at least a decade in Wallonia has been evaluated. Twelve additional species are considered regionally extinct, for most of the...
Article
Full-text available
Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by using country-specific and standardized protocols, validated, summarized and finally used for the production of continent-wide annual and long-term indices of population size changes of 170 spec...

Technical Report
Full-text available
This report presents a sensitivity mapping of bird collision risk with power lines. This study combined recent bird data accumulated from various sources to produce a comprehensive reassessment of, and map, the risk of bird collisions with power lines across Belgium. The end product is a scoring of the high-voltage line segments according to the ri...
Article
Full-text available
Le suivi annuel des populations d'oiseaux nicheurs communs en Wallonie est sans appel : la majorité des espèces sont en déclin depuis une trentaine d'années et cette baisse s'accélère sur les dix dernières années.
Article
Full-text available
Every year since 1990 the population trends of the most common breeding birds in Wallonia (81 species) have been estimated using a standardized sampling procedure. Several dozens of volunteers make one or more sets of 15 fixed spots where birds are counted for 5 minutes. Each year, the observers repeat the observation following the same methodology...
Article
Full-text available
All over Europe, bird recording portals accumulate millions of casual records every year. Here, we evaluated how these opportunistic datasets could contribute to the monitoring of species of conservation concern at the site level. Our case study was the Natura 2000 site network in Wallonia (Southern Belgium). Data extracted from the popular portal...
Article
Full-text available
In 1983, a Corncrake Crex crex breeding population was discovered in the Fagne-Famenne, a grassland- rich region of Wallonia (Southern Belgium). This discovery led to a Corncrake conservation project, based on nature reserve implementation, funded by the EU and Wallonia from 1994 to 2001. Twenty years later, this breeding population is still holdin...
Technical Report
Full-text available
High- and very-high-voltage power lines have been identified as a major human-induced source of mortality for birds. When birds fly in large groups, or in poor visibility conditions, they can collide with these structures, in some instances in sufficiently large numbers to raise concern. Elia, as the power transmission system operator in Belgium, i...
Article
Full-text available
Après un rapide déclin dans les régions environnantes, le Bruant proyer trouve son dernier bastion du Benelux dans les milieux cultivés du nord de la Wallonie et en particulier en Hesbaye. Entre 2010 et 2014, des inventaires ciblés ont été menés suivant deux méthodes complémentaires afin de préciser son statut, de décrire l'évolution récente des po...

High- and very-high-voltage power lines have been identified as a major human-induced source of mortality for birds.

Several international agreements on nature conservation ackno...
Article
Full-text available
The first case of breeding of the River Warbler in Belgium was discovered in a piece of wet shrubby fallow land near Marche-en-Famenne. The stay of a singer in the month of May 2009 was regularly followed by many observers until mid-July. At the beginning of August, the use of nets enabled the capture and ringing of two flying juveniles, thus provi...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
One important by-product of bird atlases is to provide population estimates to evaluate species conservation status. Unfortunately, large-scale atlas data are nearly always characterized by an uneven sampling effort among sampling units. This prevents from calculating straightforwardly reliable population estimates. We propose a procedure to deal w...
