It forms the first year of the postconstruction phase monitoring of the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm Extension. The purpose of this report is to document the surveys that have been undertaken during this period, including the survey routes covered, present estimates of the bird populations present, and discuss the main findings of the surveys including a comparison with the previous survey results and assessment of any influence of weather conditions and other relevant information that may have affected species abundance and behaviour. The main aim of this phase of the work is to determine the distribution and abundance of seabirds using the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm Extension (KFE) site and its surrounds after construction of the wind farm, and compare this with the pre-construction baseline. Standard survey methodologies have been used, following Camphuysen et al. (2004) and have remained consistent throughout the surveying undertaken.

The transect spacing used in 2015-16 was 1km within the main part of the survey area where previous baseline surveys have been undertaken (using that same 1km transect separation) and 2km on the more peripheral areas (to provide additional information on bird populations further from the wind farms), with a total length of 100km. The total area surveyed was 122km2 (Figure 2). These survey areas and transects were the same as those used in the 2014-15 pre-construction baseline surveys.
