In plain English

Natural England requires wintering bird surveys at 40 sample locations within 10 km of the Humber Estuary SPA, running from January to March 2027. No special requirements are stated.

Description from the notice

This project involves undertaking wintering bird surveys in agricultural fields and other open habitats up to 10 km from the Humber Estuary SPA. The aim of this project is to collect additional data to support a Natural England-led Habitat Suitability Modelling project. The modelling is intended to help identify areas of potentially suitable habitat for wintering waterbirds and wading bird species associated with the Humber Estuary SPA, helping to improve our understanding of their distribution in the surrounding landscape. This commission requires wintering bird surveys at 40 sample locations between January and the end of February (or early March if required).
