Notice Description

This survey will contribute to work on Greylag goose population modelling and productivity, to enable informed population management decisions. The information collected will build on the annual spring and autumn count data in the Uists; A total of 5030 individual Greylag geese were counted during September 2017, and 4655 were counted during February 2018. This tender will serve to provide SNH with: An assessment of the breeding success of Greylag geese in the Uists during Autumn 2018. A record of the brood sizes within the population.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Undertake an ageing and productivity survey across North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist to assess the breeding success of resident Greylag geese: Surveys will be undertaken of at least 25% of the overall goose population, from a sample of birds encountered in surveys carried out from roads across the Uists. Total number of adults and immature birds will be recorded. Brood sizes will also be recorded by identifying family groups. Young birds tend to remain with their parents, and where two (or occasionally one) adult bird are accompanied by young then it can be assumed they are a family group. Surveys will be conducted during November 2018, and should be completed in one day, or no more than two consecutive days. A report will be submitted summarising the survey findings and presenting the flock locations (grid references) and counts in electronic format.
