Each profile of a migratory bird species features its detailed illustration and migration map, quick facts such as information on identification, habitats, migration patterns, and diet, and the latest population figures for the flyway and the Wadden Sea region.

The collection of migratory bird profiles was first created by the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park Authority. In the framework of IWSS, the product has now been adapted to a World Heritage edition for use across the Wadden Sea.

The profiles are resp. will soon be available for free download in Danish, German, Dutch, and English at iwss.org/resources.
