Winter census of Wildfowl and Shorebirds in the Balearic Islands, January 2008. Results of the winter census of Wildfowl and Shorebirds in the Balearics in 2008 are presented. In the year 2008 a total of 25.638 individuals belonging to 58 species were recorded. The results are compared with the average for the last 17 years. This shows an increase in almost all the groups in Mallorca except Podicipediformes and Phoenicopteriformes, and a recovery in the number of waders compared with 200. There was a marked decrease of Pelecaniformes (Great Cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo) and Gruiformes (Common coot Fulica atra) in Menorca and a marked decrease of Flamingos Phoenicopterus roseus in the Pitiuses, as well as a decrease in the number of blacknecked greebes Podiceps nigricollis in Formentera.
