Summary

This dataset contains details for each and every qualifying bird species on every Special Protection Area (SPA). Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are strictly protected sites classified in accordance with Article 4 of the EC Birds Directive, which came into force in April 1979. They are classified for rare and vulnerable birds (as listed on Annex I of the Directive), and for regularly occurring migratory species. The EU Commission requires information on each site to be compiled in the form of a Standard Data Form. This dataset is updated every time a new or amended batch of information is submitted to the EU Commission. This dataset contains information drawn from section 3.1 of the Standard Data Form. From December 2015 onwards this included the following fields SITECODE SITENAME Country LOCALAUTHORITY Sitestatus Xcoord (Eastings) Ycoord (Northings) Nowakcode Species Commonname Season Populationcountmin Populationcountmax Popunits SPECIESDATAQUALITY COUNTPERIOD IMPORTANCE SPECIESPOPULATION SPECIESCONSERVATION SPECIESISOLATION SPECIESGLOBAL
