Volume B, Chapter 12 Offshore Ornithology Appendix 12.9 Migropath Species Selection Matrix

Migropath Species Selection Matrix

Notes on Matrix

The selection of migratory bird species for modelling through Migropath (APEM’s bespoke migration modelling tool) is based broadly on the SOSS 05 Project (Wright et al., 2012), which presents 101 species and sub-species linked to UK SPAs that have flight paths through, around and over the UK to and from Europe and further afield that may be at risk from the development of offshore wind farms. For the purpose of this assessment a selection of the SOSS 05 species and sub-species deemed most likely to interact with the Navitus Bay Wind Park’s Turbine Area were selected to run through Migropath. The matrix below presents the selection process undertaken to account for species and sub-species that have the potential to migrate through the Turbine Area. This screening stage acts as a qualification process for all species and sub-species identified as migrating broadly through the Turbine Area and whether they require further assessment or not. As a precautionary measure, the selection process has been based upon the 101 species and sub-species within the SOSS 05 Report (Wright et al. 2012), but also includes a desk based study of multiple reports and survey data in order to offer as robust a case as possible for each species or sub-species. The following reports / survey data were used to aid the selection process (numbers correspond to numbered column headers in matrix):

1. The SOSS 05 Report (Wright et al., 2012) – This publication contains all species and sub-species that are available for modelling through Migropath. A simple high level first assessment identified whether the main, partial or no flight paths within this report passed over the Turbine Area. Those species with no flight paths over the Turbine Area or that were already assessed within the ES Chapter were screened out.

2. Observations from surveys – In order to make use of the large amount of site-specific boat-based survey data from the monthly surveys and migration specific surveys, as well as the land-based migration surveys for this Project all data were analysed to identify species that migrated through or near to the Turbine Area.

3. Local Bird Reports – The latest local bird reports from the Isle of White, Dorset and Hampshire were sourced, particularly those that covered the periods that the surveys were completed in, in order to allow for a comparison of species and periods that are relevant to the data collected for the Project.

4. Literature Review – A wider literature review was undertaken in order to identify areas along the coast or within the surrounding land mass of the Turbine Area that hold high densities or important numbers of the 101 SOSS 02 species or sub-species, including the latest Breeding and Wintering Altases of the birds in Britain (that has survey data relevant to the period of this Project’s surveys). Further analysis and research involved assessing known migration routes for the 101 species and sub-species from the Migration Atlas (Wernham et al., 2002) and The Handbook of the Birds of the World (Del Hoyo et al., 1996). It also included referencing relevant sections with other avifauna books covering England and Dorset.

5. SOSS 02 Flight Heights (Cook et al., 2012) – The Cook et al (2012) report modelled the proportion of bird flights within a standard collision risk window for offshore wind turbines. This allows a generic risk from collisions to be considered for species of birds that were the focus of this research. The report presents a percentage of birds found to be flying at collision risk height, or PCH (birds flying with the rotor swept area of a turbine, or at Potential Collision Height) from multiple bird surveys. The PCH is presented within this matrix and the confidence level also presented. Those birds found to have a very low PCH are less likely to be at risk from collisions.

6. Species of collision risk concern (SOSS 03 Annex) – This was small piece of research completed for the SOSS 03 Project to identify any particular species that may be of high risk from offshore wind farms during their spring or autumn migration flights. Those species identified through this report are highlighted in this matrix, particularly if relevant to the English Channel or more specifically the Turbine Area.

7. Perceived Risk from Collision – Langston et al (2010) identified bird species which were most likely to be priorities for data collection or likely focal species for risk assessment in potential Round 3 development zones. The report also ranked and scored species for their sensitivity towards different potential impacts from the construction and operation of offshore wind farms, for example collision risk from turbines or displacement due to construction activities. The more recent Furness & Wade (2012) report on the vulnerability of Scottish seabirds to offshore wind turbines presents a similar scoring and ranking for bird species to the different potential impacts associated with wind farms. The scores presented within this matrix are from these two reports, where applicable.

8. Additional Comments – These comments are intended to collate the overall risk level of the species or sub-species, based upon the data input into the matrix, which culminates in a species or sub-species being selected to be run through Migropath.

41 Little Egret Egretta garzetta Yes no yes low low low n/a high n/a low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

This species has large numbers found within SPAs along the south coast of England and some linkage is suggested between England and France. It is also only considered a fairly common resident, passage migrant and winter visitor in surrounding counties. This species was selected for modelling in order to assess the risk to its population.

42 Great Crested Grebe

Podiceps cristatus Yes no yes low low low n/a low-med low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a low

Considered a low risk species from collision with turbines and main migration routes between England, Ireland and continental Europe unlikely to include mass movements through the English Channel.

47 Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus Yes no no low low low n/a low low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Although this species migrates southwards from the UK, SOSS suggests that paths may be most common between Devon to Brittany. Not observed locally as a migrant from coastal watch points or from site-specific surveys.

48 Montagu’s Harrier Circus pygargus Yes no no low low n/a n/a v.low low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Scarce and irregular breeding bird in UK with numbers unlikely to be sufficient for modelling purposes. Moreover, it is highly unlikely that any migrants would fly though the Turbine Area site, as no evidence base for this.

Migration from UK (mostly Scotland) appears to be in a broad front manner across the English Channel, as tagging studies show flight paths from multiple locations along the south coast. Such a migration type suggests that the Turbine Area is not a significant obstacle to the majority of the migrant birds and number likely to be insufficient for CRM.

50 Merlin Falco columbarius Yes yes yes low low low n/a low-mod low

low/mod low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Regular passage migrant and scarce regular winter visitor to surrounding counties. However, major migration routes are between Iceland and UK. This species is not likely to cross the English Channel in large numbers. Small wintering population on south coast of England, but not considered likely to migrate through the Turbine Area in numbers sufficient to be of risk to population.

52 Corncrake Crex crex Yes no no n/a n/a low low n/a n/a low low n/a n/a low low high n/a

Although there is a difference in the consideration of collision risk between Langston and SOSS, the knowledge of migration for Corncrake is very limited, with little evidence for low flying birds over English Channel or Scottish breeding birds landing on the south coast of England to north of Turbine Area.

53 Coot Fulica atra Yes no no mod mod low low/mod low-mod low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Largely sedentary in UK, with some local movements, but Migration Atlas suggests significant movements are mostly between Eastern England and France, so unlikely to be over the Turbine Area.

54 Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus Yes no yes low mod low low mod low low mod n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Most migration activity for this species is between the continent and more northern and eastern parts of the UK or between Ireland and UK. Some exchange between UK and France, but no obvious migration routes and not observed during site-specific surveys.

55 Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta Yes no no mod low low low/mod mod-high n/a


Large populations found along the south west coast and some potential SPA linkage with birds ringed in East Anglia subsequently recorded in Southwest, then later in the Netherlands. There are likely to be some individuals that also fly north-south, so this species was included to allow for a precautionary approach to the assessment.

The Icelandic population migrating to the UK is the predominant focus for risk, as UK birds either stay in the UK for the winter or have a westerly bias in their wintering locations abroad. This westerly bias to migration over to Iberia, France and N. Africa is likely to occur from areas of southern England to the north of the Turbine Area. No birds observed during site-specific surveys, but species included as a likely candidate for passage over the Turbine Area.

Del Hoyo: 200,000-250,000 breeding pairs in Britain. Marked decline in large areas of Britain. During the winter there may be up to 275,000 birds. Although large number of birds breed and winter within the UK and migrate out from UK to other parts of Europe it is not evident or suspected that large numbers associated with southern coastal areas fly south across the Turbine Area in particular. Although a common UK species it was not recorded during any site-specific surveys or noted from coastal watch points in large numbers. Also, very few breed or winter in south west.

Largest populations of Knot are found in SPAs in the East and North West of England, with only smaller populations warranting SPA assemblage status on the south coast. However, they are known to move through south coast locations on route to northern France, so species included as a precautionary note.

It is known to migrate between the UK and France during passage periods and was recorded durng site-specific surveys, so was selected to be modelled. It should be noted that the SOSS 05 project did not include the taymyrensis race that is known to migrate in part through the English Channel to and from its Siberian breeding grounds, as no SPAs are designated for passage for this species.

Small UK population is increased in passage periods by more northern populations, but suspected to have a broad front migration. Although observed in site-specific surveys it is likely that numbers would be too small for modelling purposes and therefore unlikely to be at risk from the Wind Park.

73 Curlew Numenius arquata Yes no yes low mod low low/mod low low low


The English Channel is crossed by only a small proportion of the birds that breed or winter within the UK, therefore the risk of collision is low.

This bird is a qualifying and assemblage species for several south coast SPAs. Although it was not recorded in site-specific surveys it has large populations within the UK and Europe that fly between the UK and potentially across the English Channel in large numbers, but was not considered at risk from Turbine Area, as main populations are found further east.

77 Turnstone Arenaria interpres Yes no yes low low/mod low low/mod low low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

The majority of migrant turnstone enter the UK to the Northwest and East of the UK, with some dispersing to southerly wintering locations. Little is known about whether migration is broad front or not, but this species is not an assemblage or qualifying species on migration locally and was not observed during any coastal land based or site-specific surveys.

78 Red-necked Phalarope

Phalaropus lobatus Yes no no low low n/a low n/a n/a low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Scarce bird in the UK and migration routes largely unknown with a westerly bias suspected. No evidence to suggest that the species would utilise a flight path through the Turbine Area and even if it did the number would be too small to model.

88 Little Tern Sternula albifrons Yes no no low low low low mod low low low n/a n/a low low low mod

Although this species is a qualifying species for several SPAs there was little evidence of birds flying through the Turbine Area during site specific surveys and migration surveys.

89 Black Tern Childonias niger Yes no no low low low low n/a n/a low low n/a n/a low low n/a n/a

Scarce, non-breeding bird, in UK that is not likely to be located in Turbine Area.

90 Sandwich Tern

Sterna sandvicensis Yes no no low low low low high mod low low

3.6 (0.7 - 34.9) mod low low mod high

Identified as at potential risk, as large numbers known to fly through the English Channel, so potentially large numbers flying through the Turbine Area. For this reason it was selected for modelling.

91 Common Tern Sterna hirundo Yes no no low low/mod low low high mod low low 12.7 (6.0 - 18.7) low low low mod mod

Flagged in ES as more common during migration periods and large numbers known to fly through the English Channel. Potentially under recorded during migration periods from site-specific surveys. Qualifying species for several south coast SPAs and large population known to fly through Strait of Dover. For these reasons it was selected for modelling.

92 Roseate Tern Sterna dougallii Yes no no low low n/a low v.low low low low n/a n/a low low mod mod

Very small numbers found along the south coast and not observed from site-specific surveys, so unlikely to be at risk from Project.

93 Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Yes no no low low n/a low low low low low

2.8 (<0.1 - 23.4) mod low low mod mod

Mostly a north west European breeding bird, with few taking English Channel route to southern wintering grounds. Few observed from site-specific surveys, so unlikely to be at risk from Wind Park.

94 Guillemot Uria aalge Yes Assessed in ES 95 Razorbill Alca torda Yes Assessed in ES

96 Puffin Fratercula arctica Yes Assessed in ES

97 Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus Yes no yes low low low n/a v.low low low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Evidence suggests that there is more movement between the UK east coast and Scandinavia, with less between the UK and France. Less predictable and more weather related (poor weather will result in more birds wintering in the UK), so is not linked to local areas or SPAs, so it is unlikely to be at risk from the Wind Park.

98 Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus Yes no no low low low n/a mod low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Was initially selected for modelling, but has since been assessed in a different manner after consultation with NE, RSPB and local bird groups.

99 Woodlark Lullula arborea Yes no no low low low n/a low-mod n/a low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

UK population not suspected to be heavily migratory. Very small movements likely and no particular location associated with any southerly autumn movements. On this basis it is not appropriate to model and even if selected, numbers likely to be too low to modelling.

100 Dartford Warbler Sylvia undata Yes no no low low low n/a mod-high n/a low low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Majority of the UK population is found to the north of the Turbine Area and around East Anglia, but with little migration between these locations and the continent unless severe winter weather occurs.

101 Aquatic Warbler

Acrocephalus paludicola Yes no no n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a low n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Very scarce bird in the UK and migration routes largely unknown despite 3 SPAs being designated for this species. No evidence to suggest that the species would utilise a flight path through the Turbine Area and even if it did the number would be too small to model.
