1. Report dated ** ****** 2014
Bird Survey Findings at ************** in ******* during
the 2014 season
Dear ******,
During the courseof my --- daytime visits to the above site, I amassed a grand
total of ------ ---- bird species. All weredetected either by sightor sound but
more often a combination of both allowed for a positive identification. The
previously provided spreadsheetbreakdowns clearly indicated which plots
within your patch werevisited most frequently by any given species and these
have subsequently been updated to sortspecies alphabetically. Within each
PLOTsheet (for example, VICINITYOF FARMHOUSE), I haveindicated whereI
acquired proof of breeding against an individual bird species. In order to
achieve this, I confirmthat I did not deliberately set out to search for nests and
proof of breeding was acquired using other methods. The main SUMMARY
sheet itself, shows the maximum counts of individual species on a given visit
and should tally with the aforementioned PLOTsheets. If any degree of
uncertainty in establishing the true status of a bird species was apparent, I
have appended a “?” (Question mark) to it. Another sheet entitled
MISCELLANEOUS INFOsimply illustrates any brief information, sometimes with
maximum counts, on other wildlife populations I came across when visiting the
various plots. A final sheet entitled SPECIES PRESENCEBY PLOTS simply
highlights for the record whether a bird species was present or otherwise.
Added to this again, is proof of breeding and additionally the bird’s current
conservation status within an international context.
By utilising all the data provided, I amhoping it will assistyou in any decision
making process over habitat management practices and additional targeted
conservation efforts you may consider into the future. Given my knowledgeof
adjacent bird populations in the vicinity, there may well be opportunities

2. afforded to other species moving onto your patch to breed in the coming
years. In time, you may wish to discuss this aspect further.
I trustthe aboveand its associated findings meet with your approval. Again, I
thank you for allowing me to undertakethese studies on your land.
Best Wishes
