Résumé :	Until a few years ago there was a paucity of ornithological information from the north coast of Egypt, including the Nile Delta lakes. Several recent expeditions to this region revealed new and important information, particularly on quantitative aspects of the Mediterranean coastal avifauna. Systematic counts of migrating waterbirds along the north coast of Sinai have also been carried out during six autumns between 1973 and 198 2 (Paran & Paz 1980, Paran 1980, Y. Paran in lit., Petersen & Sørensen 1980, 1981a, 1981b, Baha el Din & Salama 1984). Counts of waterbirds have been carried out in the Nile Delta lakes in the winters of 1978/79, 1979/80 and in November 1981 (Meininger & Mullié 1981a, 1981b, Bennett et al. 1982). Also, preliminary surveys of breeding birds were made in the spring of 1983 in the Nile Delta lakes (Meininger et al. 1986) and in the spring of 1985 along the north coast of Sinai (Fry et al. 1985).
