Find out when they are required and how our ecologists can help
Breeding bird surveys may be necessary when your development site contains habitat likely to support bird populations of particular ecological value, including species protected under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act and Priority Species.
Key habitat features could include (but are not limited to) woodland and trees, dense hedgerows or berry-bearing shrubs, reed bed, or small bodies of water.
The bird breeding season is generally acknowledged to occur from late February to early August inclusive, although the majority of breeding activity occurs between March and early July. Surveys of the breeding bird community should start between half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunrise and can comprise between 5 to 10 survey visits.
Contact Land Studio to schedule appropriate surveys that ensure your development project meets all ecological requirements while protecting valuable bird populations.
