Metadata: 2004-2006, ECON Ecological Consultancy, Boat Based Ornithological Surveys
Abstract:
ECON carried out boat based surveys at the site of the Lincs Offshore Wind Farm to observe the number and location of birds across the wind farm and the local area. A total of 10,356 ind. of 78 identified species (including subspecies) were recorded within the Lincs study area from boat-based surveys over the study period. This is presented in the report: Ornithological surveys of the proposed Lincs offshore wind farm and the local area. The numerically most abundant species (>500 ind.) seen were guillemot (1,447 ind.), pink-footed goose (1,334 ind.), common gull (924 ind.), razorbill (763 ind.), little gull (790 ind.), great black-backed gull (618 ind.) and herring gull (613 ind.). Other commonly sighted species (100–500 ind.) were: common scoter, red-throated diver, fulmar, gannet, lesser black-backed gull, kittiwake, sandwich tern and starling. The numbers of all species seen and their respective population estimates both in the study area and the site are presented in the report: Numbers, Populations and Densities of Species Observed on Lincs Site and Study Area during Boat Based Surveys.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4746 |
| 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. | 2004-2006, ECON Ecological Consultancy, Boat Based Ornithological Surveys |
| 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. | 573490ae338c56bbbc3ed348791d2756 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 612 |
| 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 | 2004-03-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-03-09 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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 |
