1 INTRODUCTION

The Edinburgh Tram Line One Bill includes proposals to construct a walkway supported over a section of foreshore within the Firth of Forth Special Protection Area (SPA), designated as part of the European Natura network under the EU Habitats Directive. The area of the SPA is shown on Figure 1 and extends to cover much of the coastline along the northern and southern shores of the estuary, as far upriver as Alloa. The boundary in the vicinity of Starbank is shown at a larger scale in Figure 2. Schedules for the designation of the site as an SPA, and also as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and as an International Wetland under the Ramsar Convention, are provided in Annex A.

The site is designated for its wintering and passage bird interest and specifically for its wintering populations of red-throated diver, Slavonian grebe, golden plover and bar-tailed godwit; its post-breeding (passage) population of sandwich tern; its wintering populations of migratory species pink-footed goose, shelduck, knot, redshank and turnstone; and its wintering waterfowl assemblage including great crested grebe, cormorant, scaup, eider, long-tailed duck, common scoter, velvet scoter, goldeneye, red-breasted merganser, oystercatcher, ringed plover, grey plover, dunlin, curlew, wigeon, mallard and lapwing.

Under the Conservation (Natural Habitats etc.) Regulations 1994 (the “Habitats Regulations”), the Competent Authority, in this case the Scottish Parliament (see Clause 70(6) of the Bill), must undertake an Appropriate Assessment to satisfy themselves that there will be no impacts that could adversely affect the integrity of the qualifying interests for which the SPA is designated, or that if there are, there are special reasons why the development should be permitted to proceed. The integrity of the site is defined as “the coherence of its structure and function, across its whole area, that enables it to sustain the habitat, complex of habitats and/or the levels of populations of the species for which it was classified” (1).

Scottish Natural Heritage guidance (2) describes a staged process for undertaking such assessments.

1. Define the proposal.

2. Establish that it is not necessary to management of the site for nature conservation purposes (in which case no further assessment would be required).

3. Determine whether the proposal is likely to have a significant effect on the site. This acts as a coarse sieve to remove from the process projects

which are neutral, trivial, or very short term in their impacts on a site’s qualifying interests.

4. If it cannot be demonstrated that the effect is “trivial or inconsequential”, assess the implications of the development for the site’s conservation objectives so as to answer the question “can it be demonstrated that the proposal will not adversely affect the integrity of the site?” This is referred to as the Appropriate Assessment.

5. If the assessment indicates that no adverse effect will occur consent may be granted; if not, further steps are required to demonstrate that specific reasons why the development should be permitted apply, before consent may be granted.

The proposals for development of the walkway on the boundary of the SPA are not necessary to the management of the site for nature conservation and, based on the assessment provided in the Environmental Statement for Line One, it has been determined that the effect of the proposals is not trivial. An Appropriate Assessment (Step 4) is therefore required. To enable Parliament to make this assessment, and SNH to advise Parliament in this process, further information is required on the qualifying interests of the site at Starbank and its significance in the context of the overall area of the SPA. To provide this information a survey is being carried out by Environmental Resources Management Limited (ERM) with the assistance of ECOS Countryside Services, following a methodology agreed with SNH. The survey is recording the numbers, distribution and activities of coastal bird species over a twelve month period from February 2004 to January 2005 in the area of the project works.

To enable early consideration to be given to the requirements of the Habitats Regulations, this report provides an interim review of the results to date based upon the first six months survey findings.

2 SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The survey methodology follows the approach recommended by SNH in their letter to ERM of 19 September 2003. Bird counts and observations are being made on four days per month (two spring and two neap tides to cover highs and lows on each of these tides) for one calendar year to cover the full range of seasonal activity in the affected area. The presence of any of the species identified as qualifying interests for the SPA is recorded by ten hourly counts undertaken during daylight hours through the tidal cycle (except when light is restricted to less than 10 hours as the case in winter). The survey is being undertaken by a team of three surveyors, of whom two count on each survey day, with each covering sectors independently for the duration of the day.

The counts are timed to provide equal coverage of patterns of use by birds on falling and rising tides. In practice this is not fully achievable because of the timing of tides, short day length in winter and occasional adverse weather conditions, but the aim is to get as close as possible to an even spread.

In addition to recording species and numbers of birds, their distribution is mapped and actual and potential sources of disturbance recorded. Disturbance movement is recorded on a scale of 0-3 where the distance is the number of metres moved away from the source of disturbance:

• 0 = none; • 1 = 0-20 metres; • 2 = 20-200 metres; • 3 = 200 metres or more.

Other information noted includes:

• the times of high water and low water; • the height of the tides at high and low water • the extent of inter-tidal habitat uncovered; • the start and finish times of each count; • weather conditions; and • sea state.

The survey area extends from the western breakwater of Leith Docks to the western breakwater of Granton Harbour and from the sea wall on Lower Granton Road to a line drawn between the entrance to Granton Harbour and the entrance to Leith Docks. It therefore includes Wardie Bay and Newhaven Harbour. Forth Ports Plc has provided free access to the Middle Pier, Granton Harbour for the surveyors.

Within the survey boundary, six sub-sectors are defined, each different in character and providing valuable sub-sets to inform conclusions on feeding, roosting, movements and disturbance.

The six sub-sectors are:

1. West breakwater, Leith Docks

Page 9: Line One, Northern Loop New Transport Initiative Firth of ... · New Transport Initiative Firth of Forth Starbank Foreshore Bird Monitoring Six Month Interim Report 11 October 2004

6

2. Newhaven Harbour 3. Newhaven Harbour to the Scottish Water sub-station 4. Scottish Water sub-station to Granton East Harbour east breakwater. 5. Granton East Harbour 6. Granton West Harbour.

In defining the survey area consideration was given to the count sectors used on other surveys, such as the core and low tide Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) which are administered jointly by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT), to permit comparison of data from the different sources. Monitoring includes local features used by birds as roosts including ledges on the seawall, breakwaters and pontoons.

On completion of the monthly surveys the data have been processed to provide peak counts at different points of the tide for each sector and each observed species and to analyse the levels of disturbance observed.

3 SURVEY FINDINGS

The detailed results from surveys covering the period from February to July are presented in Annexes B to G. The peak counts for knot, oystercatcher, redshank and turnstone and for all species grouped as wildfowl, waders and others for neap and spring tides are provided in Annex H. Preliminary findings from the surveys are provided below.

Winter Months (February / March)

Feeding Birds

For the most part the foreshore between Granton Harbour and Newhaven Harbour supports low numbers of birds principally turnstone and oystercatcher. Turnstone prefer the eastern section between the sewage pipe and Newhaven Harbour at higher states of the tide, whilst small areas of the rocky shoreline to the west of the sewage pipe supports mussel beds and attract larger numbers of oystercatcher with some redshank and goldeneye.

Newhaven Harbour holds little feeding habitat and few feeding birds have been recorded. Occasional ringed plover and small numbers of turnstone are present on the breakwater of Leith Dock.

The preferred feeding locations in the survey area for species other than oystercatcher are the mudflats within East Granton Harbour, which during both spring and neap tides support a large number of waders including knot, redshank, dunlin with some turnstone and occasional curlew. West Granton Harbour is rarely used by feeding birds except on spring tides when small numbers of redshank use the exposed mudflats, although this is only exposed for a short period of time. A kingfisher was observed in the West Granton Harbour in February.

Goldeneye was the most numerous wildfowl species in the Wardie Bay, with relatively large numbers of eider, red-breasted merganser and great crested grebe.

Roosting Birds

The main roosts occur on pontoons in the East Granton Harbour, where the main species are redshank, knot and dunlin, with a few eider. Small sub-roosts form on the beach in front of and on the eastern breakwater at East Granton Harbour, and on the small area of beach to the east of the eastern breakwater. West Granton Harbour is rarely used, although redshank roost here on occasions if the pontoons have been disturbed. Small roosts of oystercatcher and turnstone form on occasions on the western breakwater of Leith Dock.

Waterfowl roost in rafts in the outer part of Wardie Bay, normally several hundred metres offshore.

Spring Passage (April / May)

Eider was the main species recorded in West Granton Harbour during this period, where they fed on the mussels attached to the wooden supports of the Middle Pier, although numbers were much lower in May. This may have been due to the redevelopment works. A peak of 46 redshank was recorded in the early April surveys feeding on the intertidal mudflats.

Waders were the most numerous species in East Granton Harbour, particularly knot (peak of 219 birds feeding and 113 roosting), and redshank (89 feeding and 81 roosting), along with small numbers of oystercatcher and eider in April. Numbers decreased considerable over April and into May. The first records of sandwich terns were made in April with birds recorded feeding and roosting at East Granton Harbour.

Several great crested grebes were observed forming pairs and displaying (mating display) in the waters between East Granton Harbour and the outfall pipe. Only small numbers of other species were recorded in this section including eider, oystercatcher and knot.

Turnstone was the main species recorded along the stretch east of the outfall and around Newhaven Harbour, with small numbers of eider. Occasional oystercatchers, cormorant and turnstone were recorded on the western breakwater of Leith Docks, with a sub-roost of 12 birds during a high tide survey in May.

Summer Months (June / July)

Numbers were low during this period with eider the main species recorded in Granton Harbour. Small numbers of common and sandwich terns were also recorded feeding in East Granton Harbour and roosting on the pontoons on occasions. The majority of the birds were recorded on the neap tides (see Annex H).

Between Granton Harbour and Leith Dock numbers of birds were also low, with small numbers of oystercatcher continuing to feed on the mussel beds with eider (some with young), great crested grebe, cormorant and feeding terns offshore. The terns were observed catching fish and flying towards the colony in Leith Docks.

Disturbance

The main sources of disturbance were walkers and walkers with dogs (see Annex I). This is typical of many coastal areas including the Firth of Forth. Many of the disturbance events recorded resulted in birds moving over 200m from their position prior to the disturbance.

Disturbance events were most frequently recorded due to walkers along the eastern breakwater at Granton Harbour, and at the small beach immediately to the east of the breakwater, which is also a popular walking area.

Ongoing construction work on West Granton Harbour did cause some low levels of disturbance to eider in June, and works to repair the Wardie Bay

seawall may have affected the distribution of roosting birds recorded in March.

The section from the pipeline outfall to Newhaven Harbour is popular with walkers, cyclists and joggers, but rarely do they cause any disturbance as this area is not a preferred feeding or roosting area for birds. Walkers, mainly tourists, were also frequent along the western breakwater at Leith Dock causing high levels of disturbance.

4 THE EFFECT OF THE PROJECT ON THE FORESHORE

In this area the project involves creation of a walkway running along the foreshore and projecting approximately 3 metres out from the seawall. At this point in the development of the scheme a detailed design is not available, but the current expectation is that the walkway will be constructed on a single line of columns placed in the foreshore between low and high water mark. It will not be physically supported by the seawall but will connect to it by cross ways opening onto the existing road through breaks in the top wall at intervals along the length. The bases for the columns will be excavated in the foreshore, if possible when the tide is low, but if this proves infeasible, a temporary coffer dam will be created around the affected area to provide permanent dry working conditions.

The area within the SPA that is likely to be directly affected will amount to about 0.3 hectares, some 0.005% of the total area of the SPA (6,314 hectares).

The surveys have recorded few birds in the area directly affected by the works, which currently offers limited feeding opportunities for feeding and roosting birds. Within the wider survey area the preferred feeding and roosting areas for the main wader species (all qualifying interest species of the SPA) are on the rocky shoreline 500m west of the proposed works and on the mudflats in East Granton Harbour, 1km to the west of the proposed works. Given the existing levels of disturbance caused by walkers and walkers with dogs in these areas, short term impacts from the proposed construction works are considered unlikely. With the design of the new structure various measures can be considered for habitat creation associated with the works to provide benefits to birds in the long term

5 THE NEXT STAGES

The survey is still in progress and will be completed at the end of January 2005. On completion further data analyses will be undertaken and a full report of the findings will be prepared. This will allow an assessment of the effect of the project works on birds using the foreshore, to inform the Appropriate Assessment. The promoter is committed to full consultation with SNH throughout this process and to continuing this through the detailed design and development of construction methods for the walkway, if the scheme goes ahead. Methods to mitigate any local impacts on birds during construction will be identified and measures integrated into the design of the structure to provide beneficial habitat for birds in the long term.

Project : ERM Project No: 0000479 Date :12.3.04 ___________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose: To update ERM on the first survey month , February 2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ A. Surveys. • Surveys were undertaken on four days in February 2004 covering two spring and

two neap tides. These dates were the 9t h, 16t h, 24t h and 29t h February. February 29t h was a Sunday and specifically chosen to target weekend disturbance.

• All types of weather have been encountered including a day of rain. • Hourly counts were restricted by light to eight counts on the 9t h and nine on the

16t h. Full surveys of ten hours were possible on the 24t h and 29t h. • A total of 37 counts were completed for five count sectors generating 185 data

sets covering all tidal states. • The counts sectors were chosen as discrete bird feeding habitats and when

added together concur with WeBS count sectors. • The count sectors are: Granton West Harbour; Granton East Harbour; Granton

West Harbour to the Sub-station; Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour and Newhaven Harbour.

B. Summary results. For details please refer to the February spreadsheets. • Very few birds used Granton West Harbour, wading birds only when spring tides

exposed mud for feeding. A peak of 48 feeding Redshank was recorded on the 29t h Feb. A Kingfisher was recorded on the 16t h Feb.

• Granton East Harbour was the key roosting and feeding area for waders, especially the obligate feeders like Knot and Dunlin. Roosting for all species was mainly on boat mooring pontoons in the Harbour, but occasionally on the East Breakwater or beach when the disturbance level was low. Roosting Knot and Dunlin feed to the west of Granton and return to roost, especially on neap tides. Peak feeding numbers were recorded on the 9th February spring tide with 397 Dunlin and 174 Knot. Oystercatcher roost in the Harbour but moved between Granton East Harbour and the rocky shore section between the Harbour and the Sub-station whilst feeding. Redshank numbers were relatively high with peaks of 161 roosting and 85 feeding. Other birds included Curlew, Eider, Shelduck, Red-breasted Merganser and Turnstone. A Common Seal regularly uses the pontoons for loafing.

• In the Granton East Harbour to Sub-station section there was a small sub-roost on the sandy beach beside the Harbour but no other roosting. The key species in this section were Oystercatcher and Goldeneye with peak counts of 84 and 231 birds respectively. Small numbers of Curlew, Redshank, Turnstone and Purple Sandpiper were noted.

• Small numbers of birds were recorded in the Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour Section, mainly Goldeneye. The flock was mobile and moved back and forth across Wardie Bay.

• Newhaven Harbour was very poor for birds other than gulls. • Walkers and walkers with dogs have caused most disturbances. David Bell, 12.3.04 CC Sally Monks ERM Andy Coates ERM Attached: Spreadsheets for February 2004. (All email only)

STARBANK FIELD SURVEY NOTE No2, MARCH 2004 __________________________________________________________________________________ Project : ERM Project No: 0000479 Date : 18.5.04 Reporter: David Bell, ECOS Countryside Services Copied to: Sally Monks ERM (Email only) Andy Coates ERM (Email only) ___________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose: To update ERM on the second survey month, March 2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ A. Surveys. • Surveys were undertaken on four days in March 2004 covering two spring and

two neap tides. These dates were 10t h, 15t h, 22nd and 30t h March. • Rain on 15t h March, otherwise fair with light to moderate winds. • The count sectors were chosen as discrete bird feeding habitats or roosts and

when added together concur with WeBS count sectors. • The count sectors are: Granton West Harbour; Granton East Harbour; Granton

West Harbour to the Sub-station; Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour; Newhaven Harbour and Western Breakwater of Leith Harbour. The latter has been added to provide sub-roost data relevant to the study.

• Full surveys of ten hours were possible on each of the four count dates. • A total of 40 counts were completed for six count sectors generating 240 data

sets covering all tidal states. B. Summary results. For details please refer to the March 2004 spreadsheets. B1. Granton West Harbour. • Small numbers of birds feeding with a peak of 29 Redshank on the spring of

22.3.04 at LT-1. Roost numbers were normally low but 60 Redshank roosted at high tide amongst rubble on the west shore on 30.3.04. The Redshank numbers reflect spring passage of this species.

• Oystercatcher, Turnstone, Great Crested Grebe, and Red-breasted Merganser were recorded in small numbers.

B2. Granton East Harbour. • Bird numbers were generally greater on spring tides than on neap tides. • The peak total was 503 birds, on 10.3.04 declining to 81 on 30.3.04. • Eider peaked at 45 birds whilst waders made up the majority of the birds

counted. Peaks were Dunlin (250), Redshank (112), Oystercatcher (113) and Knot (112).

• The flock of 112 Knot arrived on 22.3.04.

• Dunlin and Knot movements tend to be from, or to, the west and suggest feeding at Crammond.

B3. Granton East Harbour to Sub-station. • Goldeneye peaked at 115 birds on 15.3.04. They continued to feed mainly in the

outer half of Wardie Bay. • Small passage of wildfo wl with peaks of 12 Red-breasted Merganser and 8 Great

Crested Grebes. • There were no significant sub-roosts of waders. • Feeding Oystercatcher peaked at 59 on 10.3.04. B4. Sub-station- Newhaven. • Goldeneye peaked at 34 with these birds forming part of the mobile flock using

the whole of Wardie Bay. • The wader peak was 31 birds with Oystercatcher the most numerous peaking at

16 birds and Turnstone peaking at 15 birds. B5. Newhaven Harbour. • Very low numbers of birds use this area for either feeding or roosting. It is

popular with loafing gulls. • A peak of 18 Turnstones were recorded at high tide. B6. West Breakwater, Leith Harbour. • Occasional sightings of a small number of Oystercatcher. • A pair of Ringed Plover appear to be holding territory and may breed. C. Disturbance. • A walker disturbed birds on two counts by strolling along the west bank of

Granton West Harbour. • Granton East Harbour is disturbed occasionally by walkers and walkers with dogs

using the east breakwater. On one occasion there was a walker and dog on the shore.

• The small beach immediately to the east of the east breakwater is popular with walkers and dog walkers and disturbance is frequent. The Granton East Harbour to Sub-station was effectively cleared of feeding birds during the last three weeks of March 2004 due to on-going repairs to the seawall. Commercial winkle collection took place at low tide on 10.3.04 despite signs advising not to because of the human health risk. Two pickers removed approximately 50 kilos of winkles.

• Occasional walkers disturb the West Breakwater, Leith Harbour whereas Newhaven Harbour is generally busy with tourists and locals as well as boats.

___________________________________________________________ STARBANK FIELD SURVEY NOTE No 3, APRIL 2004 __________________________________________________________________________________ Project : ERM Project No: 0000479 Date : 24.5.04 Reporter: David Bell, ECOS Countryside Services Copied to: Sally Monks ERM (Email only) Andy Coates ERM (Email only) ___________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose: To update ERM on the third survey month, April 2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ A. Surveys. • Surveys were undertaken on four days in April 2004 covering two spring and two

neap tides. These dates were the 8t h, 13t h , 21st and 28t h April 2004. • Weather was clement with light winds and light rain on 13.4.04. • Full surveys of ten hours were possible on all four count days. • A total of 40 counts were completed for six count sectors generating 240 data

sets covering all tidal states. • The count sectors were chosen as discrete bird feeding habitats, or roosts, and

when added together concur with WeBS count sectors. • The count sectors are: Granton West Harbour; Granton East Harbour; Granton

West Harbour to the Sub-station; Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour, Newhaven Harbour and West Breakwater, Leith Docks.

B. Summary results. For details please refer to the April spreadsheets. B1. Granton West Harbour. • Generally low numbers of all species with a peak of 46 birds on 8.4.04, all 46

were Redshank feeding on intertidal mud exposed by the very big spring tide. The mud was only available LT-1 to LT+1.

• Eider peaked at 16 birds at high tide on 8.4.04. The small resident flock of Eider move between the East and West Harbours. The majority of their time is spent under the Middle Pier feeding on the Mussels that cling to the wooden pier supports.

• No birds at all were recorded on 28.4.04 and this coincided with the arrival of a large barge and commencement of redevelopment works in Granton West Harbour. Although the lack of birds may have been due to the neap tide and generally low numbers of birds in the study area.

B2. Granton East Harbour. • Bird numbers were generally greater on spring tides than on neap tides with a

peak of 267 birds on 8.4.04 decreasing throughout the month to 46 birds on 28.4.04.

• Waders again made up the greatest proportion of the total birds with Knot the most numerous bird. A peak of 219 Knot feeding and 113 roosting on 8.4.04. A total of 121 Knot still present on 13.4.04. Other peaks were Redshank 81 roosting and 89 feeding and 24 Oystercatcher (roosting). Eider peaked at 12 birds, as usual at high tide.

• Sandwich Tern were first recorded feeding and roosting on 21.4.04 with a peak of 11 birds.

B3. Granton East Harbour to Sub-stat ion. • The relatively large Goldeneye flock has departed with no records of this species

in April 2004. • Generally low numbers of birds. Peaks were Great Crested Grebe (9), Eider (22),

Oystercatcher (21), Knot (12) and Sandwich Tern (4). • All recorded wading birds were feeding with no significant sub-roosts recorded. • The first Sandwich Tern was noted on 21.4.04. • As in March 2004, several Great Crested Grebes formed pairs and were seen

displaying. B4. Sub-station to Newhaven. • The Turnstone peak of 21 birds recorded at LT+3 on 8.4.04 was notable. B5. Newhaven Harbour • Very low numbers of birds use this area for either feeding or roosting. No birds

were recorded on 32 out of 40 counts. • Fifteen Turnstone were recorded at LT-2 on the neap of 28.4.04. B6. West Breakwater, Leith Harbour. • Occasional sightings of a small number of Oystercatcher. C. Disturbance. • No disturbance recorded in Granton West Harbour despite works. • In Granton East Harbour children playing on the foreshore caused the main

disturbance. A grab dredger was operating alongside the yacht club slipway on the 13.4.04 and 21.4.04 but appeared to be causing no disturbance. Other disturbances were caused by joggers and walkers with dogs, both using the east breakwater.

• A picnic party of 21 people caused some disturbance on the beach to the east of Granton East Harbour breakwater, especially when swimming! Children and walkers joined at the party group at various times on the beach, with or without dogs. Disturbance was confined to the beach and did not extend further east along Wardie Bay toward the sub-station.

• Birds are rarely disturbed between the substation and Newhaven Harbour. • Both Newhaven Harbour and the West Breakwater are subject to regular

disturbance from people, mainly tourists. • Boat movements in Granton and Newhaven Harbours generally cause little

disturbance.

___________________________________________________________ STARBANK FIELD SURVEY NOTE No 4, MAY 2004 __________________________________________________________________________________ Project : ERM Project No: 0018991-WS2 PT13 Date : 1.7.04 Reporter: David Bell, ECOS Countryside Services Copied to: Sally Monks ERM (Email only) Andy Coates ERM (Email only) ___________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose: To update ERM on the fourth survey month, May 2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ A. Surveys. • Surveys were undertaken on four days in May 2004 covering two spring and two

neap tides. These dates were the 5t h, 12t h, 21st and 26t h May 2004. • Weather was clement with light to moderate easterly winds and favourable sea

conditions. Rain was recorded on the 5t h. • Full surveys of ten hours were possible on all four count days. • A total of 40 counts were completed for six count sectors generating 240 data

sets covering all tidal states. • The count sectors were chosen as discrete bird feeding habitats, or roosts, and

when added together should largely concur with WeBS low tide count sectors. • The count sectors are: Granton West Harbour; Granton East Harbour; Granton

West Harbour to the Sub-station; Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour, Newhaven Harbour and West Breakwater of Leith Docks.

B. Summary results. For details please refer to the May 2004 spreadsheets. B1. Granton West Harbour. • Generally very low numbers of all species with a peak of 9 birds on 21.5.04, all

were loafing Eider at low tide. • The wider scale commencement of redevelopment works in Granton West

Harbour may be partly responsible for the low numbers of birds, although direct adverse effects were not observed. Works included piling, vehicle movements, crushing and screening operations inter-tidal land claim. Therefore the low numbers of birds may just be a seasonal norm.

B2. Granton East Harbour. • Total numbers of birds continued to decline from numbers recorded in April with

a peak of 24 birds on 12.5.04. All were Eider loafing on the pontoons over high tide.

• Waders numbers were very low with a peak of 11 roosting Oystercatcher at high tide on 26.5.04.

B3. Granton East Harbour t o Sub-station. • Generally low numbers of birds with a total peak count of 19 birds on 12.5.04 • Small numbers of a wide range of birds were recorded: including Curlew,

Common Tern, Great Crested Grebe, Eider, Oystercatcher and Sandwich Tern. • All recorded wading birds were feeding with no significant sub-roosts recorded. • A Common Sandpiper was recorded on 5.5.04 and a Fulmar on 26.5.04. B4. Sub-station to Newhaven. • The peak was 15 birds on 12.5.04 with Eider the most numerous bird. • Two Fulmar were recorded on 5.5.04. B5. Newhaven Harbour • Very low numbers of birds use this area for either feeding or roosting. No birds

were recorded on 33 out of 40 counts. • The peak count of waterfowl was 2 birds. • Cormorant, Eider, Mallard and Turnstone were recorded. • Gulls are numerous in the Harbour where they scavenge for scraps from local

boats. There were 64 Herring Gulls on 26.5.04. B6. West Breakwater, Leith Docks. • Sightings of Great Cormorant and Turnstone. A notable sub-roost of 12

Oystercatcher at high tide on 5.5.04. • Ringed Plover were noted on two counts. C. Disturbance. • No direct disturbance was recorded in Granton West Harbour despite works nor

in the section from the Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour. The latter is popular with walkers, cyclists and joggers but they rarely cause any disturbance.

• Anglers, picnickers, walkers and dogs were recorded in Granton East Harbour but none were causing any significant disturbance.

• Low level disturbance in Newhaven Harbour was caused by boats and walkers. • Leith Docks Western Breakwater is very popular with walkers causing high levels

of disturbance, with birds often vacating the area.

___________________________________________________________ STARBANK FIELD SURVEY NOTE No 5, June 2004 __________________________________________________________________________________ Project : ERM Project No: 0018991-WS2 PT13 Date : 2.7. 04 Reporter: David Bell, ECOS Countryside Services Copied to: Sally Monks ERM (Email only) Andy Coates ERM (Email only) ___________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose: To update ERM on the fifth survey month, June 2004 ___________________________________________________________________________________ A. Surveys. • Surveys were undertaken on four days in June 2004 covering two spring and two

neap tides. These dates were 5t h, 11t h, 22nd and 26t h June 2004. • Weather was clement with light to moderate winds and showers on 26.6.04. • Full surveys of ten hours were possible on all four count days. • A total of 40 counts were completed for six count sectors generating 240 data

sets covering all tidal states. • The count sectors were chosen as discrete bird feeding habitats, or roosts, and

when added together concur with WeBS count sectors. • The count sectors are: Granton West Harbour; Granton East Harbour; Granton

West Harbour to the Sub-station; Sub-station to Newhaven Harbour, Newhaven Harbour and West Breakwater of Leith Docks.

B. Summary results. For details please refer to the June spreadsheets. B1. Granton West Harbour. • Generally low numbers of all species with a peak of 31 birds on 26.6.04, all were

Eider. A resident flock has increased throughout June and they spend most of their time in the northern part of the Harbour, apparently avoiding the development works.

• Two pairs of Eider hatched young in the area and up to five chicks have been seen in the Harbour.

• A single Curlew and an adult Heron were also seen feeding. B2. Granton East Harbour. • Numbers of feeding and roosting birds were very low with few waterfowl. A peak

count of 33 birds on 5.6.04, mainly Eider. • Oystercatcher numbers were slightly higher (peak 7) on 26.6.04 suggesting that

some birds are returning to the coast. • Small numbers of Common (peak 5) and Sandwich Terns (peak 2) were recorded

feeding in the Harbour and occasionally roosting on the pontoons.

B3. Granton East Harbour to Sub-station. • Bird numbers were low with a peak count of 21 birds, 15 were Eider, on 22.6.04. • Small numbers of Oystercatcher continue to feed on Mussel beds along the shore

with a peak of 5 birds. • Eider, Great Crested Grebe, Mallard and Cormorant were recorded along with

small numbers of feeding terns. A peak of 4 Sandwich Terns and 2 Common Terns were recorded.

B4. Sub-station to Newhaven. • Bird numbers were very low with a peak total of 13 birds on 26.6.04. • The peak total of 13 Eider on 26.6.04 was typical as Eider accounted for most

records in June. • An Eider duck was seen with three chicks. B5. Newhaven Harbour. • Very low numbers of birds use this area for either feeding or roosting. No birds

were recorded on 33 out of 40 counts. • The total peak count of waterfowl was 5 birds on 26.6.04. Of these five birds

Common Tern accounted for 4 birds and a Cormorant was the other bird. • The Common Terns were catching fish and flying off in the direction of Leith

Docks where there is a large breeding colony. It is presumed that the eggs in the colony have now hatched.

B6. West Breakwater, Leith Docks. • Only two records of birds in 40 counts. Two sightings of Oystercatcher, one bird

on 5.6.04 and two birds on 26.6.04. C. Disturbance. • No disturbance recorded in Granton West Harbour despite intensive works. Works

now cover the whole of the ground to the south and west of the Harbour with extensive re-working of the surface, piling, sheet piling and land-claim. The Eider moved into the working area after work stopped in the early afternoon of 26.6.04. It is clear that the local flock is slightly disturbed by the works and tend to move away to the end of the Middle Pier and to the mouth of the Harbour.

• Granton East Harbour is subject to low level disturbance by boat movements and people walking on, or angling from, the Eastern Breakwater. There is occasional use of the small beach for sunbathing, by children, or for dog walking.

• Between Granton East Harbour and the Sub-station disturbance was confined to the beach and did not extend further east along Wardie Bay toward the Sub-station. Dogs and walkers were the most common source of disturbance.

• Birds are rarely disturbed between the Sub-station and Newhaven Harbour, although boats and people were on the shore clearing birds on 5.6.04.

• Both Newhaven Harbour and the West Breakwater are subject to regular disturbance from people, mainly tourists.
