The role of bird manure in the nutrient balance of surface waters

Many waters in the Netherlands suffer from water quality problems due to an excess of nutrients. Efforts to reduce eutrophication sometimes have limited success and it has been suggested that this may be due to nutrient inputs from large numbers of birds. Logically, this would mainly concern birds that concentrate in colonies and roosts, but forage outside the area. Indeed, some case studies in specific areas indicate a potential increase in the external nutrient load of tens of percentage points. The question is how widespread this problem is.
