Title

JNCC visual aerial bird survey data

Abstract

Visual aerial survey data collected for seaduck, divers, grebes, and little gull. Data were collected visually from aircraft, at sites identified as holding potentially important aggregations of non-breeding waterbirds. The data collected were used to inform SPA recommendations.
