The six month monitoring period was divided into two distinct “seasons”. For the passage season monitoring was conducted for 24 hours per month spread equally over two visits and during the winter season 12 hours of monitoring was undertaken in a single monthly visit. The surveys were scheduled to provide complete coverage of the tidal cycle for each month where daylight hours allow within the respective survey time windows.

The passage season (October 2010, February and March 2011) to include autumn dispersal movements and early spring/late winter arrival of breeding seabirds and the winter season (November and December 2010, January 2011), a period when the majority of previously addressed SPA species are elsewhere on their wintering grounds. For the passage season monitoring was conducted for 24 hours per month spread equally over two visits and during the winter season 12 hours of monitoring was undertaken in a single monthly visit. The surveys were scheduled to provide complete coverage of the tidal cycle for each month where daylight hours allow within the respective survey time windows. Each survey lasted for three hours and consisted of six instantaneous scan samples of the viewshed undertaken every half hour. During scan sampling the location of every bird observed was recorded onto field maps and the time, species, number of individuals, activity and if applicable flight direction was recorded. In times of high intensity priority could be given to the species of concern and birds within the array and buffer respectively. However, during the winter and passage months intensity was low enough to enable recording of all birds observed within the viewshed.
