Finalized in April 2023, the study included methodologies such as GPS tracking, aerial surveys, and post-construction evaluations conducted between 2019 and 2023, though the exact number of participants was not specified. Findings revealed no significant changes in LBBG populations due to the wind farm operations, with minimal avoidance behaviors observed and a conclusion that a third year of aerial surveys was unnecessary. The report recommends the ongoing monitoring of the area to maintain adherence to approved methodologies, ensuring the assessment of ornithological interests continues given the low collision risk and the stable population dynamics.

The reporting is split into two separate documents: • Volume 1: Lesser black-backed gull Larus fuscus (LBBG); and • Volume 2: All other species. Methods and reporting follow from the agreed Ornithological Monitoring Plan (OMP) (Revision 7, 2018) which was submitted to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) to allow discharge (either partially or completely) those conditions in the Development Consent Order (DCO) Schedule 2 Part 2 deemed Marine License (DML) associated with ornithological monitoring. This updated plan (dated December 2018) takes into account changes set out in the MMO comments on the Ornithology Baseline Report sent to Galloper Wind Farm Limited (GWFL) on 23.06.2016, relating to coinciding the initial post-construction aerial surveys and tagging studies.
