Wintering bird surveys (from w/c 15 September)

We are carrying out surveys around the site to help us count the number of wintering birds in the local area.

These surveys need to take place at sunrise when birds are most active and will end by early afternoon. You may see surveyors walking around the site at these times over the next few months.

This is the third year of survey data we will collect for South Brooks Solar Farm, helping us to build a robust understanding about the types of different birds that use the site.

These surveys do not disturb the birds and are being carried out by suitably qualified ecologists.

Surveys will continue throughout the non-breeding bird period (September – March). This is not expected to cause any disruption.
