Assessing movements of Lesser Black-backed Gulls using GPS tracking devices in relation to the Galloper Wind Farm 

A programme of Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus tagging and tracking work was initiated within the Alde-Ore Estuary Special Protection Area during the 2019 breeding season, and continued throughout the 2020 breeding season, in order to fulfil requirements of the Galloper Wind Farm Ornithological Monitoring Programme and test key predictions of the Environmental Statement. The results from both the 2019 and 2020 breeding seasons of tracking are summarised within this report.
