Data derived from observations of rare non-breeding birds.
Occurrence description
Buiten broedtijd
Grote Burgemeesters worden vooral langs de Noordzeekust, in het Waddengebied en de Delta gezien. Waarnemingen diep in het binnenland zijn uiterst zeldzaam. In totaal zijn er per jaar maximaal enkele tientallen Grote Burgemeesters aanwezig. De soort verschijnt bij ons in de loop van september-oktober, is het talrijkst in januari-februari, en vertrekt uiterlijk in april of mei. Adulte vogels worden het meest in najaar en vroege winter gezien.
Birds directive
Conservation status
The Birds Directive focuses on the conservation of all naturally occurring wild bird species in Europe, including the Glaucous Gull.
This means that EU Member States must take measures to maintain or bring the populations of these species to a level that corresponds in particular to ecological, scientific and cultural requirements.
The Birds Directive requires Member States to maintain habitats for birds of sufficient size and quality, including through the designation of Special Protection Areas for the benefit of the European Natura 2000 network. No special protection zones have been designated for the Glaucous Gull in the Netherlands. The national population must be able to maintain itself at a favorable level.
What is the methodology to assess the conservation status of birds
non-breeding bird
The conservation status of the Glaucous Gull as non-breeding bird in the Netherlands is favourable.
