The survey focused on coverage of habitat at Colchester Barracks and Middlewick, known to support substantial numbers of breeding Nightingales and other fauna and flora of high conservation importance. Plans for development had been proposed, which would likely cause direct and indirect impacts upon these species.

Report on Danbury Nightingale Survey 2025

Author:

This highlights concentrated populations of birds that are more significant nationally and from a conservation and protection perspective.
