We are invested in the monitoring and ongoing conservation of birds in the UK and Ireland.
We believe that low-impact development is only possible with high quality survey data, and subsequent assessment by an expert, impartial ornithologist.
By using our network of competent, local surveyors, we are able to maintain this impartiality, while keeping the carbon-footprint associated with travel to survey sites to a minimum, and keeping development investment inside local economies.
