The surveys were conducted from a high winged, twin engine plane crusing at approximately 180km/h at 76m (250 feet). The results of the survey show that the most numerous species or group of species recorded was Guillemot/Razorbill, of which 1239 individuals were recorded.

The presence (number and species composition) and distribution of birds in the study area was recorded by three aerial surveys during May to August 2004. The study area was covered by 21 north-south orientated, parallel transects separated by a distance of 2 km and a total length of 561 km. Transect endpoints were entered into the aircraft GPS as waypoints, used for navigation along the transect tracks. The surveys were conducted from a high winged, twin-engine Partenavia PN68, with a flight altitude of 76 m (250 feet) and a cruising speed of approximately 180 km/h (100 knots). During the surveys, two observers covered one side of the aircraft each. All observations were continuously recorded on a dictaphone, including information on species, number, transect band and time. The majority of the observations were considered accurate within four seconds, i.e. each observation was given the exact time  4 seconds, and consequently, the positional accuracy on the longitudinal axis was within 206 m. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/26/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
