The EBBA Live Farmland aims to produce updated species distributions and maps of change since EBBA2 for c. 50 farmland bird species. The project will produce 50-km maps of observed occurrence of breeding birds, modelled maps showing the 10-km probability of occurrence and maps of the change. The final aim of the project is to determine the capacity of the EBCC network to update maps on a regular and frequent basis. This will be done in close cooperation with partners.
