This year’s annual bird status review, "Vögel in Deutschland 2011", focuses on waterbirds and can be downloaded at http://www.dda-web.de/downloads/texts/publications/statusreport2011_ebook.pdf (in German only). With 72 pages packed with interesting information on waterbirds and critical sites in Germany, this report makes great use of the exceptional national counts collected for over 40 years to produce a series of detailed analyses.
