A number of other populations, from designated sites of importance for birds, use the offshore waters of the Bay. Common, sandwich and little terns from The Dee Estuary SPA and potential extensions feed offshore, as do cormorants from breeding colonies at Puffin Island SPA and Little Orme’s Head SSSI and, in significant numbers, shag, guillemot and razorbill from the breeding cliffs of Great Orme’s Head SSSI. All of these populations are qualifying features of the designated sites. The report presents the methodology adopted in the assessment of these ornithological issues.

Due to the wind farm pre-dating the data clauses which The Crown Estate insert into all offshore windfarm leases, the offshore wind farm developer had no obligation to provide survey data to The Crown Estate. However, despite this, The Crown Estate are pleased to have worked with Innogy and Greencoat Capital to retrieve as much of the historical data as possible. All of the retrievable data can now be found on the MDE.
