  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This Fifth and Final Ornithological Monitoring report which covers Year 6 of the bird monitoring
programme, presents and analyses the results of the 17 boat surveys from 10th December 2006 to 21st
November 2007 for the Kentish Flats offshore wind farm, and aerial data collected during two surveys
flown on 3rd and 18th February 2007 in the area surrounding the wind farm. The purpose of this report
is to meet the FEPA license monitoring requirements determined by DEFRA (following advice from
English Nature, now Natural England) as a planning consent condition for the construction of the
Kentish Flats project.

Population estimates with means and standard errors for the wind farm site and buffer zone and for the
control site have been calculated using the data collected during each of the 108 boat surveys since
October 2001. Standard errors have been updated and improved by the larger (6-year) dataset.
Relative abundance indices have been calculated with standard errors for all WWT aerial surveys
covering Kentish Flats.</dc:description>
