Current Projects and Surveys
Spring and summer 2009 was a very busy one with a number
of season long surveys and projects undertaken. The
major survey over summer 2009 involved collecting data
on feeding seabirds and sea mammals birds on a site off
the Northwest Wales coast for a potential tidal turbine
array.
Winter 2009/10 was a fairly quiet project
wise but RPS approached me to carry out land-based
seabird/sea mammal surveys for another potential tidal
array scheme off the West Wales coast. Also more
offshore work for IECSs off the Scottish Coast was
welcomed.
I’m currently undertaking work for EMU and
ECON on large offshore project in both the North and
Irish Seas as well as continuing to work alongside IECS,
ESS Ecology on other smaller sites.
I’m also looking
to be offering PAMs and more MMO skills in the near
future for developers and consultancies.
Onshore I’ll
be assisting BSG Ecology with breeding bird and great
crested newt surveys across the Midlands as well as
working on a small Ecological Assessment of a small
development near Macclesfield over the summer that will
include breeding bird work, mammal and bat surveys as
well as an extended phase one report.
Morocco Birding Trip
In late March to early April
2008,
myself and a colleague visited Morocco for 10 days and
had a wonderful bird filled holiday albeit slightly
tiring having covered nearly 3000km in the 10 days!
We
saw 187 species during our stay.
