APEM has undertaken monthly aerial surveys from September 2011 to August 2013 inclusive in order to collect data to inform the EIA and HRA for East Anglia THREE to assess the temporal and spatial abundance and distribution of birds within the survey area. Specific data was collected from aerial surveys from across the windfarm and a four kilometre buffer placed around it. The months in which aerial digital surveys were carried out over the period 2011 to 2013 is shown in Table 3.1.
