Dataset contains data on the results of synchronous counts of birds in the wetlands of the Azov-Black Sea region in 2015. The counts were carried out as part of the Regional Ornithological Monitoring Program (ROM), information about which is available on the website https://www.izan.kiev.ua/rom/. August counts within the framework of the program is carried out once for three years and is coordinated by the Azov-Black Sea ornithological station. In total in 2015, 36 wetland sites were covered, of which 14 were sites of international importance (Ramsar sites). The counts on all wetlands were carried out according to a single standard method (see Methodology). An important condition was the registration before the start of the waterfowl hunting season. The dataset contains 1219 records for 101 species of waterfowl. The vast majority of data was collected from August 3 to 14, 2015. Due to unfavorable weather conditions, the terms of traditional waterfowl counts in a marine part of the Kilia Danube Delta were shifted to September 1, 2015.
