We provide site visits (including last minute) to assess whether
breeding birds, important plants, reptiles, amphibians,
lepidoptera and other fauna may be present prior to the removal
of vegetation or buildings. This will prevent any contravention
to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and help with any
planning applications. Phase 1 Habitat Assessment. This involves
a thorough walk over of the recording area, and will be
conducted to determine what habitats are present and which
species of flora and fauna are present. Transect lines will be
prepared for following bird surveys on each site.. Breeding Bird
Survey. Using bird methodology, sites are fully assessed to show
which species are present, where within the recording area and
in what numbers. Bird status is included such as breeding,
feeding, commuting, roosting etc. Dawn and evening surveys are
included and we also look for bird signs such as feather
remains, pellets, nest holes etc to help form an idea of which
species are present or using the site.
