Abstract
Three ornithological surveys visited north-east and east Mongolia in May, mid-July to mid-August and September 2004, with the intention of counting the extensive wetland complexes and steppe grasslands. The prime objective was to survey populations of Globally Threatened Species, particularly Anser cygnoides, Grus vipio and Otis tarda. Full counts of all waterbirds were conducted, which enable an assessment of the bio-geographic importance of individual sites. All other bird species were recorded routinely during the surveys.
