Common Standards Monitoring Guidance for Birds 2004

Abstract

The guidance given here deals with Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) for birds on designated sites, including SSSIs, Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Ramsar sites. It provides guidance on the identification of attributes, targets and methods of assessment for birds where these are notified or qualifying interest features.

Generic guidance tables are provided for three categories of feature types: aggregations of breeding birds, assemblages of breeding birds, and aggregations of non-breeding birds.
