2007, RPS Group Ltd, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Boat-based Ornithological Report series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_9034f05a-f19a-4feb-9619-839091dd14e2 In fulfilment of its FEPA license requirements ongoing monitoring is being carried out covering the two wind farm sites (Inner Dowsing and Lynn) and a control site. This project relates to the surveys carried out from July – December 2007. Eight surveys were undertaken using transects to sample bird numbers and distribution on the water and in flight. The outcomes of the survey show that red-throated divers continue only to be recorded in low density at distances greater than 5km offshore as well as common scoter. Auks were recorded in great numbers within the Lynn site during construction. The surveys concluded that construction impacts were measurable but not severe, and recommended the continuation and refinement of post-construction monitoring—particularly for sensitive and qualifying species and seasonally important populations—to inform ongoing management and mitigation, as well as to adapt survey effort in consultation with conservation authorities such as English Nature. 20210517T13:49:23 20080516T00:00:00
