Metadata: 2015, Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), Humber Gateway, Pink-footed Goose Radar Survey
Abstract:
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) was commissioned by the Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies, on behalf of E.ON Humber Gateway Limited, to monitor the 2015 autumn passage and flight activity associated with migrating Pink-footed geese through the Humber Gateway Wind Farm and to compare this data with pre-construction data from a comparable 2012 study. Continuous radar surveys to cover the autumn migration period were carried out between 14 September and 20 November 2015 (68 days). The surveys were combined with visual observations undertaken by radar ornithologists for 7 hours each day, during daylight hours, providing a total of 476 observational hours.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) was commissioned by the Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies, on behalf of E.ON Humber Gateway Limited, to monitor the 2015 autumn passage and flight activity associated with migrating Pink-footed geese through the Humber Gateway Wind Farm and to compare this data with pre-construction data from a comparable 2012 study.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The study used a Bird Detection Radar (BDR), combined with ornithological observations, to survey to movements of Pink-footed geese on autumn migration in and around the area of the Humber Gateway Wind Farm development. The study ran for ten weeks (68 days) between 14 September 2015 and 21 November 2015 and was timed to cover the peak migration period for Pink-footed geese migrating south along the north-east coast of England. Field observations were undertaken for seven hours each day by two APHA radar ornithologists: one manning and monitoring the live radar screens, and one carrying out detailed vantage point field monitoring synchronised with the radar deployment. The optical equipment used throughout the observation period included Leica 8x42 binoculars and a tripod-mounted Swarovski ATM65 HD telescope with 30x wide-angle eyepiece. |
