Migres Programme is a long-term scientific monitoring of migratory birds population across the Strait of Gibraltar, which allows:
- to detect changes in migratory populations that can be related to the trends of these species at a global level, as indicators of their conservation status;
- to detect the changes in species migratory patterns;
- to try to understand the biological meaning of these changes in relation to the current scenario of global change.

BirdLife Netherlands is part of the East Atlantic Flyway Initiative of BirdLife. We are working on waterbird conservation to create a pearl string of stop over, wintering and breeding sites that are well protected. Also we are working with national BirdLife partners in North Africa and West Africa to research landbird migration and work with local communities on land restoration and well managed landscapes for landbirds.

Turtle doves are undergoing huge populations declines- most notably in the UK. Although this UK decline can be attributed to a reduction in breeding productivity and a lack of nesting habitat, a high prevalence of Trichomonas gallinae infection was found in a sample of this population during the breeding season of 2011.
