• Species that are listed interest features or assemblage components of the Deben Estuary SPA and SSSI.
• Species that are Schedule 1 species and occur along the onshore cable route in the breeding season or within an agreed distance outside the defined cable route.

Consideration of species in relation enhancement under the biodiversity duty applying to decision makers and best practice to avoid infringement of the law in relation to all nesting birds will be carried out as a separate process to the species selection described above.
2.3 Proposed Action / Agreement 37.
It is expected that:
• The sources of baseline information for the offshore and onshore receptors to be agreed in ETG meeting 1. This includes:
o The use of the same aerial survey method that was used for East Anglia ONE.
o No additional baseline surveys along the offshore and onshore cable routes.
• The process for identifying biological periods to be agreed in ETG meeting 1.
• The process for identifying bio-geographic populations for offshore receptors to be discussed in outline in ETG meeting 1, a technical note on species specific bio-geographic populations to be provided subsequent to the Ornithology ETG meeting 1 and those species specific bio-geographic populations to be agreed in ETG meeting 2.
• The methods for determining population estimates and flight parameters (direction and height) from the aerial surveys to be agreed in ETG meeting 1.
• The process for selecting the list of species to be taken through the impact assessment process for offshore and onshore receptors to be discussed in ETG meeting 1 and species agreed in ETG meeting 2.
• The proposed targeted survey of brent goose distribution to be discussed and agreed at ETG meeting 1. This will enable the first survey visits to be conducted in October 2013.
