Metadata: 2010-2011, CEH, Zone 2 Firth of Forth, Bird Tracking Survey
Abstract:
These datasets and reports were produced by Centre for Ecology and Hydrology for the Forth and Tay Offshore Wind Developers Group for the purposes of Habitats Regulations Appraisal and potentially Appropriate Assessment of areas proposed for offshore wind farms.
Data holder:
Crown Estate Scotland
| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18691 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010-2011, CEH, Zone 2 Firth of Forth, Bird Tracking Survey |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 4bfae74a-1035-4919-9329-ae34d7ea3417 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-398 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-05-29 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-06-23 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | These datasets and reports were produced by Centre for Ecology and Hydrology for the Forth and Tay Offshore Wind Developers Group for the purposes of Habitats Regulations Appraisal and potentially Appropriate Assessment of areas proposed for offshore wind farms. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | For the purposes of Habitats Regulations Appraisal and Appropriate Assessment (SNH 2009) there is a need to establish the origin of seabirds in areas proposed for offshore wind farms to determine whether there is connectivity to the network of colony Special Protection Areas. The data were collected using GPS loggers deployed on incubating and/or chick-rearing birds. Data were partitioned into non-flight (i.e. foraging and resting), relevant to displacement effects, and flight, relevant to collision risk (barrier effects are relevant to both categories). The data required processing in two steps. First, all locations recorded at the colony were removed from the data set. Second, locations recorded during flights were partitioned from locations recorded during non-flight periods (which constitute foraging or resting). This partitioning was achieved by plotting a histogram of speeds, which was typically bimodal with the different peaks representing flight and non-flight respectively. |
