The dataset contains data on the results of synchronous bird counts in the wetlands of the Azov-Black Sea region in August 2012. The records were carried out within the framework of the Regional Ornithological Monitoring Program (ROM), information about which is presented on the website https://www.izan.kiev.ua/rom/. August records within the framework of this Program are held once every three years and are coordinated by the Azov-Black Sea Ornithological Station. A total of 23 wetlands were surveyed in 2012, of which 14 are sites of international importance (Ramsar Sites). Accounting at all wetlands was carried out according to a single standard methodology. An important condition was the registration before the start of the waterfowl hunting season. Data on 101 species of wetland birds is presented. The vast majority of data was collected from August 4 to August 20, 2012, only the Simferopol Reservoir was surveyed a little earlier - on July 27, 2012.
