Predicting the displacement of common scoter Melanitta nigra from benthic feeding areas due to offshore windfarms

This study used field observations and surveys combined with an individual-based modelling approach to predict the change in over-wintering mortality rates of common scoter that would result from the displacement of birds from potential feeding habitat through the avoidance of windfarms in Liverpool Bay. The purposes of this data capture were to: - Develop a model to assist in predicting the effect of offshore windfarms on common scoter due to habitat loss and change. - Link the non-breeding distribution of common scoter with environmental variables at selected sites - Identify the characteristics of preferred feeding areas for common scoter within these sites.
