Breeding Season Point Count Surveys
12.3.21 A total of 34 species were recorded during the breeding season point count surveys, (see
Table 12.A.12, Appendix 12.1) of which 14 were target species. These are species are listed
in Table 12.13. Of these 14 species, 11 were considered to be breeding on the site, with the
remaining three recorded only as overflying. Few species of conservation value were
recorded as breeding, with no Annex 1 species and crossbill as the only Schedule 1 species.
Two red-listed species (song thrush and lesser redpoll) and seven amber-listed species
(bullfinch, curlew, dunnock, mistle thrush, meadow pipit, whitethroat and willow warbler) were
recorded as likely breeders. Of these, the red-listed species, plus bullfinch, curlew, siskin and
dunnock are also Scottish Biodiversity List species.
