Across the time series Tadorna tadorna is the most frequently occurring species

Methods

Since 1991 waterbirds are counted in the lower Seascheldt Estuary (= tidal part of the Flemish upstream part of the Scheldt Estuary, with the downstream section of the estuary lying in The Netherlands) on mid monthly base from a boat during low water tides. All birds are counted present on the tidal flats and in the water line. The study area is completely counted on a single day (low tide). Gulls are only counted since 1999 (all other species since 1991). Dataset is complete.
