Surveys could be a comprehensive territory mapping exercise, breeding bird transects, winter bird transects, a simple species list, species-specific surveys, nest finding (e.g. ahead of forestry work or drilling) or ringing studies.

As an alternative to a formal survey, Anna can take clients on identification walks around their sites to show them what species are present and help improve their identification skills.

Reports
All survey results will be presented in a summary report, with recommendations where appropriate.
Anna also has experience designing long-term monitoring programmes (for example, annual breeding and winter bird surveys for the Sapperton Wilder project), and for this kind of survey would typically produce an annual report analysing the data collected that year and looking at year on year changes.
