The aim of this report is to provide further information on both Common Scoter and Pinkfooted Geese, in order to satisfy both NE and RSPB that the conclusion that no significant effects were predicted on either species as reached in the ES, was robust. In conclusion, the report found that boat-based and aerial surveys generally indicate that very few Scoters are likely to occur on the sea surface within the proposed OWF+buffer, with the few records of Scoters generally relating to birds en-route to what are suggested to be preferred areas between North Norfolk, Docking and the area around Gibraltar Point. Moreover, a direct route between any of these areas would mean that Scoters would tend to pass through the southern end of Lincs site+buffer only when heading for the more northerly sites along the Lincolnshire coast. With regard to the Pink footed Goose, the report states that despite the very high sensitivity of Pink-footed Goose on account of its status as a qualifying species in both the Wash and North Norfolk Coast SPA’ s, the magnitude of any effect of collision can only be seen as negligible (<1% rise over background mortality) according to the standard matrix analysis procedure developed by the BWEA (and used in all Round 2 OWF’s to date).

The calculated collision risk factor (the probability that a bird flying through a rotor is actually hit by a rotor blade) is 10.5% for a 3 MW turbine and 9.6% for a 3.6 MW turbine. The worst-case scenarios at the different wind farms was used in modelling which were 83 x 3MW turbines (in 35km2) at Lincs, 54 x 3.6MW turbines (in 19km2) at LID and 177 x 3MW turbines (over 75km2) at Docking Shoal.
