113. For birds, the initial approach to screening is high level, with the key factor being the potential for some form of connectivity between birds from designated populations and the proposed project (described in Section 4 above).
5.2.4.1 Potential sites (receptors)
114. Table 5.6 below lists the SPA and Ramsar sites around the North Sea basin, in the northern North Sea and around the coast of the British Isles for which there is the potential for connectivity between the categories of bird interest features and the proposed project. The high level screening that has been applied screens in most of the sites on a precautionary basis. Further information is required from the migratory modelling, before more detailed screening can be carried out on these sites.
