Metadata: 2011, LUC, Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm, Onshore Badger and Otter Survey
Abstract:
Mainstream Renewable Power Limited is currently developing the Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm, located 15.5 km off Fife Ness on the east coast of Scotland. An Environmental Statement had to be prepared in support of the application for planning permission to construct and operate grid connection infrastructure associated with the Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm located within East Lothian. Land Use Consultants Limited (LUC) were commissioned by Mainstream Renewable Power Limited, on behalf of Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Limited, to undertake a Badger and Otter Survey as part of the Environmental Statement.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A badger survey was carried out by experienced surveyors across four man days during July 2011. The survey methodology described by Harris et al. (1989) was adopted to identify badger signs, including paths, prints, latrines, hair and shelters. The survey mainly focussed on suitable badger habitats within the study area which included woodland, grassland, hedgerows and road verges. All identified badger signs were noted and their location was recorded using a hand-held GPS. Survey findings were subsequently digitised using GIS. All watercourses and waterbodies within 250 m of the Onshore Works were surveyed for evidence of otter by experienced surveyors, over four man days in July 2011. This involved searching for otter signs including faeces (spraints), shelters, feeding remains, slides, prints and tracks. Otter survey was carried out under optimal weather conditions, during periods of normal water levels in watercourses. All signs of otter activity, including confirmed and potential shelters, were noted and their location recorded using a hand-held GPS. Survey findings were subsequently digitised in GIS. |
