This interim report presents the results of the surveys during the period March to July 2012, which formed part of the Year 2 Construction period. In general, numbers in 2012 were largely similar to those found in previous years within this period for all of the key species, and where there were some differences (e.g. Sandwich tern), it could not be determined with any confidence that this was due to the presence of Lincs/LID6 construction activities or part of a wider natural variation in numbers. There was however no clear evidence that any key species have been adversely affected by such construction activities.

Each survey consisted of a line-transect route to survey birds on the water during which regular snapshots are taken to survey flying birds. Counts, flight heights and flight directions (where applicable) were recorded for each species. Additional information regarding, age, sex, plumage and behaviour was recorded wherever possible.
