The dataset contains data on the results of synchronous records of birds in the wetlands of the Azov-Black Sea region in August 2018. 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 30 wetlands were surveyed in 2018, of which 12 are sites of international importance (Ramsar sites). Accounting at all wetlands was carried out according to a single standard methodology (see Methodology). The dataset contains 1088 records for 92 species of wetland birds and 7 associated species. The vast majority of data was collected from August 3 to 16, 2018, with the exception of the Kinburn Peninsula, where records were taken on August 24-26.
