[2] A minimum 24-month programme of baseline offshore ornithology surveys (as undertaken for the Proposed Development) is considered a standard requirements for UK offshore wind farm assessments, providing (at least) two density estimates for each calendar month for use as inputs to the CRM (e.g. Parker et al., 2022).
