Description
The dataset contains data on the registration of 164 bird species in the Northwestern Black Sea region. Counts were carried out in the Stensovsko-Zhebriyansky floodplains (Danube delta), Kartal and Kuhurlui lakes, the Sasyk reservoir, the Tuzla group of estuaries, on the Tiligul estuary and in the estuary zones of some small rivers in the region. The study area covers (completely or at least partially) 6 Ramsar wetlands: “Kuhurlui lake”, “Kartal lake”, “Sasyk lake”, “Kyliiske mouth”, “Shagany-Alibei-Burnas lakes system” and “Tylihulskyi liman”. All works on birds' counting were organized by the Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station and were carried out with the participation of its employees, however, in some cases, researchers from other organizations participated as well (the names of all survey participants are indicated in the list of authors of this dataset). In 1999, birds' counts were carried out within the framework of the project “Proposals for the restoration, management and protection of lakes Kartal, Kuhurlui, Izmailske, the islands of Tataru, Minor and Major Dalera, the inclusion of promising wetlands of the Odessa region in the project “Partners in Wetlands”. In 2000, counts in Stensovsko-Zhebriyansky floodplains were conducted within the framework of the project “Current state of biodiversity and economic use of the Stensovsko-Zhebriyansky floodplains” with the financial support of the WWF project in Ukraine “Partners in Wetlands”.

Sampling Methods
Bird counts were carried out using 10-12x binoculars during walking or driving on routes along the shores of the studied water bodies. All birds, regardless of whether they were on the reservoir or adjacent land, were counted. In some cases, a 30x optical tube was used. During the surveys, all birds were assigned to a specific control area of arbitrary shape, the boundaries of which were determined by natural landmarks. The coordinates for bird registration are the coordinates of the center of such a site, which were determined using the QGIS program. The accuracy of coordinate estimation was determined as the maximum distance from the center to the boundary of the site. The nomenclature follows the Catalog of Life.
