Although the overall indicator for marshland and freshwater birds is increasing, at a finer scale, differences among species exist: increases are mainly among birds of reeds and shrubs, while decreases are mainly among ducks. Bird species breeding at the Wadden Sea are also generally declining.

A particularly interesting case is that of the Barnacle Goose, which illustrates how flexible and dynamic migration strategies have become, with more birds breeding now closer to their wintering grounds, often in the Netherlands itself, where they can be found year-round.
