Résumé :

Trends in the numbers of common species of bird in Brussels over the 20 last years have been determined thanks to the SOCBRU monitoring programme. Among the 36 species studied, the numbers of 12 species increased, the numbers of 10 species were stable, and 14 species declined.Besides the (apparently stable) overall situation, cumulative trends are presented for corvids (increasing), for the indigenous hole-nesting species (also increasing), for migratory species (in decline), and for species of the built environment (probable increase).Finally, the analysis of the trends in relationship with the theoritical sensitivity of the species to climate change suggests that climate change has no marked effects on the number of common birds of Brussels.
