Ornithological Surveys
Bird surveys using point counts, transects and bioacoustics, including the surveys required for energy and infrastructure projects.
Overview
Ornithological surveys identify the bird species present on a site and how they use it, including the surveys often required for energy and infrastructure projects.
How we approach it
We use point counts, transects and bioacoustics where they give the strongest evidence for the time and budget available. Outputs are written to national guidance and lender requirements.
What you receive
Species lists, abundance or occupancy findings where the design supports them, and clear recommendations for the approval or monitoring path ahead.
