Metadata: 2012, CMACS, West of Duddon Sands, Boat-based Ornithological Survey
Abstract:
Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) were commissioned by West of Duddon Sands Ltd (WoDS) to carry out vessel based surveys of the bird populations in the West of Duddon Sands offshore wind farm area. The report within this series presents results of the surveys in the West of Duddon Sands field in 2012 which represent the first pre-construction (baseline) survey. Some comments on the results are provided; although the focus of the report is on presentation of the results. Detailed data analysis is being undertaken by NIRAS on behalf of WoDS. Ornithological surveys are planned to continue during the operational phase in accordance with the monitoring schedule and as agreed with the relevant statutory authorities. This series also contains the April - September 2012 bird survey data.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19620 |
| 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. | 2012, CMACS, West of Duddon Sands, Boat-based Ornithological Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Boat-based Ornithological 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. | e4f55fe9-726a-4800-987f-cb51c03096f9 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2295 |
| 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 | 2012-04-24 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-09-22 |
| 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'. | unknown |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Each observer was equipped with a pair of binoculars and a digital dictaphone to record bird sightings. Three surveyors were used with two working and one resting in shifts which helped to reduce fatigue that could have affected data quality. Surveyors also swapped sides of the vessel at the start of each shift to reduce surveyor bias. A hand-held GPS with sub-five metre accuracy was switched on at the surveyors’ position for the duration of the survey which recorded position five times every minute and was synchronised to the surveyors’ time pieces. At the end of each survey the GPS was downloaded and the coordinates matched by time to records of birds to provide a position for each sighting. Birds were recorded to species where practicable but were identified as accurately as possible (e.g. ‘tern sp.’) when birds were distant or in poor light. Other records taken included: time of observation; number of individuals; age class; distance from vessel; flight direction and height where appropriate and behaviour including association with vessels or offshore platforms. A total of six surveys were planned in April, May, June, July, August and September 2012. A survey was successfully completed in each of these months. Any cetaceans or seals observed during the surveys were also recorded. |
