The species occurs in a wide diversity of open (but not treeless) habitats, such as grasslands, deserts, marshes, and agricultural fields, but also human settlements of various types. The species is widespread in Europe (except for Fennoscandia and European Russia) and Africa (except for Sahara desert). Most populations are resident, but some long-distance movements occur during dispersal (juveniles) or in prey numbers fluctuations (adults) (Marti et al. 2020).

In Europe, the highest abundances are observed in C & S Europe (Keller et al. 2020).

Its population trend in Europe is fluctuating. Evaluated as “Least Concern” (BirdLife International 2021).

Large and heavy swan, breeding in most temperate areas of Europe. Largest native populations in Russia, many birds in Western Europe descendant from domesticated populations. Occurs in two colour-morphs, the grey morph has dark legs and grey cygnets, the white or ‘Polish’ morph has pinkish legs and white cygnets and originates from domestication. Feeds on submerged aquatic plants, and by grazing on land where it takes grass, and various agricultural crops. Can be hunted in many countries to prevent crop damage. European population is estimated at 83,400-116,000 pairs, with an increasing trend.

Medium-sized thrush, feeds on a wide range of invertebrates; also fruit from late summer to winter. Nominate philomelos: N and E Europe to C Asia; clarkei: British Isles and W Europe; hebridensis: Outer Hebrides and Isle of Skye; nataliae: Sayan Mountains to Lake Baikal and N Iran. Can exist almost anywhere where trees or bushes accompany open grassland, patches of dead leaves under trees, supporting ample invertebrate food. Population is increasing and the status is Least Concern. Mostly resident but northern populations partially or entirely migratory; more birds move if weather severe.

The commonest goose specie, distributed from temperate to northern latitudes across the Palaearctic. In Europe, breeds in Iceland, western and central Europe, up to Scandinavia (nominate subspecies with orange bill), with subspecies rubrirostris (with pinkish bill) from Romania and Russia eastwards. Winters across most of western, central and eastern Europe, from Scotland to Spain, and east to Iran (and further east to China).

Breeds mainly in coniferous woodland habitats from Eurasia (BirdLife International 2021). In Europe, absent in too dry and too cold regions. Mainly resident except some N populations that move S in winter; occasionally irruptive.

Callum Macgregor

An exclusively marine, medium-sized seabird, breeding on rocky cliffs along sea coasts and offshore islands (Ainley et al. 2021). It has a circumpolar distribution, with the European strongholds in the British Isles, Iceland, Denmark (Faroe Islands) and Norway (Keller et al. 2020). There is a clear gradient from the high-latitude populations being migratory (Svalbard), through partially migratory mid-latitude populations (N Britian, Faeroes, Iceland) to resident and locally dispersive birds in lower latitudes (Irish, North & Baltic Seas).
