Аннотация:Since 2010, we have been trying to create a network of routes for the common bird monitoring in European part of Russia, guided by the rules applied in PECMBS. By 2021, this network unites 80 routes up to 10 km long, and participants perform bird counts twice a year, from early May to early June. Still, the distribution of routes is extremely uneven, and their number, of course, is far from sufficient for real coverage of the region. Now, an adequate statistical analysis is possible only for a set of routes in Moscow, the Moscow region and its immediate vicinity. There are 57 routes and some of them were studied even before our project started (over 10 years; 6.8 years on average). The general tendencies were similar to those in PECMBS countries, with open-landscape birds declining more than forest ones and long-distance migrants more than short-distance ones or non-migratory species. Currently, the PECBMS team assesses these data for integration into the system; one of the obvious problems is the spatial separation of our region from other participating countries. The accumulated experience allowed us not only to identify methodological difficulties but also to understand a set of problems that need to be solved in order to create a more extensive and stable monitoring network. Thanks to the help of the coordinators of the pan-European monitoring system, the solution to methodological problems does not seem to be complicated, but the ways to attract new reliable observers require new, non-standard approaches.
