Assessment of Supporting Habitat Liverpool Docks Aug 2015 Assessment of Supporting Habitat (Docks) for Use by Qualifying Features of Natura 2000 Sites in the Liverpool City Region Ornithology Report Report Ref: 4157.005 August 2015 Assessment of Supporting Habitat (Docks) for Use by Qualifying Features of Natura 2000 Sites in the Liverpool City Region Ornithology Report Document Reference: 4157.005 Version 3.0 August 2015 Prepared by: TEP Genesis Centre Birchwood Science Park Warrington WA3 7BH Tel: 01925 844004 Fax: 01925 844002 e-mail: [email protected] for: Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service First floor Merton House Stanley Road Bootle Merseyside L20 3DL Written: Checked: Approved: MW TR TR CONTENTS PAGE 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .......................................................................................... 1 2.0 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................... 2 3.0 SURVEY METHODS .............................................................................................. 11 4.0 SUMMARY SURVEY FINDINGS ............................................................................ 17 5.0 CONCLUSIONS ..................................................................................................... 82 6.0 DISCUSSION OF IMPLICATIONS RELATING TO NATURA 2000 SITES.............. 83 7.0 REFERENCES & FURTHER READING ................................................................. 86 APPENDICES Appendix 1: Examples of Survey Sheets Appendix 2: Vantage Point Survey Coverage Appendix 3: Tabulated Raw Data Appendix 4: Protected Site Citations DRAWINGS G4157.004 Count Area Locations G4157.007 Bird Flight Lines April 2014 – October 2014 G4157.008 Bird Flight Lines November 2013 – March 2014 G4157.009 Mallard and Cormorant Flight Lines April 2014 – October 2014 G4157.010 Mallard and Cormorant Flight Lines November 2013 – March 2014 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 TEP was commissioned in August 2013 to carry out non-breeding bird surveys of the active and inactive dock systems in Liverpool and Birkenhead to aid in updating the Environmental Baseline for the suite of Natura 2000 sites that are found in the Liverpool region. 1.2 The project has been carried out to fill crucial gaps in knowledge regarding use of the dock systems as supporting habitat by birds that are qualifying features in their own right, and / or as part of the waterbird assemblage for nearby Natura 2000 sites. These sites include the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA and Ramsar, the Mersey Estuary SPA and Ramsar and the Dee Estuary SPA and Ramsar sites. 1.3 The survey method was adapted from the WeBS core count methodology and entailed monthly visits between November 2013 and October 2014. Using a team of ornithologists it was possible for the entire dock system to be covered concurrently during each survey visit. Taking this approach enables greater insight into how birds use the docks and move between these areas and adjacent estuarine habitat. 1.4 A combination of transect routes and point counts were used to count all birds on the docks and flying over the docks. A count of all docks was undertaken at both high and low tide each month. Six one hour long vantage point surveys were also undertaken at both high tide and low tide to record any bird movements. 1.5 The survey results show that the docks are used by some birds associated with the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA and Ramsar, the Dee Estuary SPA and Ramsar and the Mersey Estuary SPA and Ramsar, including shelduck, redshank, black-tailed godwit and little gull. However, only low numbers and occasional usage of the docks by these species was recorded during the winter period. Increased usage of the docks by shelduck was observed during the spring period, particularly during April. The peak count of shelduck using the entire dock system was 41 individuals, equivalent to just below 1% of the Mersey Estuary SPA population. 1.6 The wintering bird assemblage for the SPA and Ramsar sites covers a larger number of species than those listed as qualifying features within the citation. Of the wintering bird assemblage species for these protected sites, curlew, lapwing, oystercatcher, redshank, turnstone, shelduck, great crested grebe, cormorant and little gull were recorded using the docks during the winter period. 1.7 Cormorant were regularly recorded fishing in most of the docks, with the largest numbers recorded on the West Float and East Float in Birkenhead (peak count: 35 individuals). The number supported by Birkenhead Docks is equal to 4.7% of the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA population. It is considered likely that the Birkenhead Docks provide supporting habitat for cormorant associated with the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA. 1.8 Great crested grebe were regularly observed to congregate at the eastern end of the East Float within the Birkenhead Docks, with a peak count of 12 individuals. This is equivalent to 60% of the Mersey Estuary SPA population. It is possible that the docks are functionally linked with the Mersey Estuary SPA in terms of their great crested grebe population. 1.9 Moderate usage of the Garston Docks by oystercatcher was recorded, with occasional large groups of this species roosting directly adjacent to the dock. A peak count of 210 oystercatcher was observed at Old Dock, equivalent to 7.7% of the 4157.005 August 2015 Version 3.0 1 Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA population. It is considered that the Old Dock within Garston Docks provides supporting habitat for the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA oystercatcher population and potentially that of the Ribble and Alt Estuaries. 1.10 It is considered that the Liverpool Docks including Garston Docks, Brunswick Docks, Albert Docks and Princes Docks provide supporting habitat for the turnstone population that forms part of the winter bird assemblage for the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 TEP was commissioned in August 2013 to carry out non-breeding bird surveys of the active and inactive dock systems in Liverpool and Birkenhead to aid in updating the Environmental Baseline for the suite of Natura 2000 sites that are found in the Liverpool city region. The survey comprises a full 12 months. 2.2 Initially, the project was delayed while a number of matters were resolved and survey commenced in November 2013 and continued until the end of October 2014. 2.3 A range of gaps in coverage for bird survey within the Natura 2000 sites has been identified by joint work with Natural England, RSPB, BTO and local volunteers. The crucial gaps in knowledge include use of the dock systems as supporting habitat by birds that are qualifying features in their own right, and / or as part of the waterbird assemblage. It is therefore necessary to fill in gaps in knowledge about use of the dock systems by birds. Survey Coverage 2.4 Figure 1 shows the total survey coverage for the survey work detailed within this report. The survey area extends from Garston docks in the south to the southern edge of Seaforth in the north on the east bank of the Mersey (Liverpool). On the western bank of the Mersey (Wirral) survey coverage included the QEII dock in the south at Eastham to the Birkenhead docks in the north. 4157.005 August 2015 Version 3.0 2 Figure 1: Survey area and Natura 2000 sites within the vicinity of the site. 4157.005 August 2015 Version 3.0 3 Natura 2000 Sites 2.5 The following Natura 2000 sites designated for birds are present within the vicinity of the Liverpool Docks: Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA and Ramsar Sites Mersey Estuary SPA and Ramsar Sites Ribble and Alt Estuaries SPA and Ramsar Sites Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA and Ramsar Sites 2.6 The Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site in July 2013. The boundaries of these sites are alike and this description covers both the SPA and Ramsar sites. These sites comprise a 2,078 ha area located at the mouths of the Mersey and Dee Estuaries. It comprises intertidal habitats at Egremont foreshore, man-made lagoons at Seaforth and the extensive mudflats of the North Wirral Foreshore. These protected sites are located approximately 300m from the Alfred Dock on the coast of Birkenhead at their closest point and are 20m from the Royal Seaforth Dock. 2.7 The SPA qualifies under Article 4.1 for being regularly used by 1% or more of the GB population of the following species: Bar-tailed godwit (non-breeding) Common tern (breeding) 2.8 In addition the 2013 citation states that the site is one of the most important locations in the UK for the following species: Little gull (non-breeding) Common tern (non-breeding) 2.9 The SPA also qualifies under Article 4.2 for being regularly used by 1% or more of the biogeographical population of the following species: Knot (non-breeding) 2.10 The populations of qualifying species supported by the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA as stated within the 2013 citation are presented in Table 2.1. Table 2.1. Populations of qualifying species and assemblages supported by the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore SPA as stated within the 2013 citation (see Appendix 4).

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.

  • East Wirral(Mersey Estuary)
    River Mersey near to Eastham Country Park. East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) The East Wirral route takes you from the start of the Manchester Ship Canal on the banks of the River Mersey, into the woodlands of Eastham Country Park and through the area of industrial heritage of the east coast to Seacombe. Along the route you will pass near to the historic village of Port Sunlight, through the Victorian suburb of Rock Park, past Cammell Lairds Shipyard, and along to Woodside where you can see the world’s first rail tram system. 60 From Woodside Ferry Terminal and the U-boat Story you will pass the docks, the Twelve Quays Irish Ferry Terminal and on towards Seacombe, where you will find Spaceport and the best views of the Liverpool Waterfront World Heritage Site. The River Mersey was once renowned as a polluted river but now it’s not unusual to see seals, porpoise and dolphin in the Mersey. Charter fishing boats regularly pass from the Mersey to Liverpool Bay which has become one of the best inshore cod fishing grounds in north west Europe. 61 East Wirral (Mersey Estuary) Eastham Country Park 1 Eastham Country Park Eastham Country Park holds immense value and is a long- standing, major leisure and nature conservation area. It covers some 43 hectares and it is the last remaining substantial area of undeveloped land with public access on the Wirral bank of the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port. Its location gives it particular importance as a local amenity, wildlife and educational resource. The site includes approximately 26 hectares of mature mixed deciduous woodland, 8 hectares of amenity grassland, 3 hectares of new plantation woodland and 3 hectares of natural grassland and scrub.
