Notice Information

Notice Title

Tagging of lesser black-backed gulls to provide evidence of their behaviour and habitat use from the Ribble & Alt Estuaries Special Protection Area (SPA)

Notice Description

gulls (LBBGs) from the Ribble Estuary breeding colony were fitted with Movetech GPS-GSM tags to obtain a detailed understanding of their movement patterns and in particular their flight height. Although the work was successful, the BTO recommended that the University of Amsterdam Tracking System (UvA) offers a better option for studying flight heights of adult gulls. Eight UvA tags were subsequently purchased by Natural England through a further contract with the BTO. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions. To access appropriate tendering and contractual documents, please access the E-Tendering portal at https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk", ensuring that your registration includes "Defra".
