SPEC 2 660 pairs OUT Although a qualifying species of the Firth of
Forth SPA, Ramsar Site and SSSI, it is
unlikely that the birds observed during the
surveys will have been associated with the
designated site. Justification for this
conclusion is provided below in relation to
connectivity to Designated Sites.
The survey data suggests that the species
does not breed at Camilty and is rarely
present onsite.
