Table 4.

Long- and short-term population trends in the Pan-European wild bird indicators for farmland and woodland, park and garden birds. (Trends in parenthesis represent specialist species. The trend is the difference in the index from the starting value, either 1980 or 1990, to the final value in 2002, expressed as a percentage change.)

farmland indicator: n=23 (specialists n=12)	Europe: n=18	−29 (−42)	−9 (−9)
European Union: n=11	−32 (−47)	−13 (−21)
Accession: n=5	−23 (−9)	+3 (+12)
woodland, parks & garden indicator: n=24 (specialists n=13)	Europe: n=18	−2 (−7)	−7 (−8)
