WeBS Count
The Welney WeBS count for Monday 10th November 2025
The Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) monitor the UK's internationally important non-breeding waterbirds. Following a tradition begun in 1947, wetland sites are counted once per month, providing data for population and trends in abundance and distribution. The network of sites legally protected for their importance to wintering waterbirds depends fundamentally on the WeBS counts.
