Percival, S.; Percival, T.; Hartley, C. (2010). Robin Rigg Solway Offshore Wind Farm: Bird Monitoring Programme Report No. 8: construction phase bird surveys October-December 2009 and comparison of construction phase data with previous baseline. Report by Ecology Consulting. Report for E.ON.

Abstract

This report represents the eighth of the quarterly bird monitoring reports to the Robin Rigg offshore wind farm Monitoring Group [RRMG] and presents the results of the final bird surveys that are being undertaken as part of the construction phase monitoring programme. The surveys reported here cover the work carried out between October and December 2009. This now gives two year’s data collection during the construction phase, so the report also compares the bird numbers found with those during the pre-construction baseline.
