Species & Habitat Surveys

		Birds Our ornithologists can undertake bird surveys for any situation, including vantage point surveys and breeding bird surveys (e.g. Common Bird Census or Brown and Shepherd survey).
		Bats Our licensed ecologists carry out a wide range of bat surveys, from roost surveys for barn conversions and house extensions to large-scale bat activity studies for wind farms and housing developments.
		Mammals We offer specialist protected species surveys including those for badger, otter and water vole.
		Amphibians and Reptiles WFE’s licensed herpetologists can carry out surveys for great crested newts, reptiles and natterjack toads. We also provide mitigation solutions.
		Habitats WFE can offer excellent botanical skills and years of experience conducting Phase 1 habitat surveys and NVC vegetation surveys. We have the botanical experience needed to undertake surveys UK wide.
		Trees Through our associates WFE can provide clients with arboricultural surveys and specialist advice.
		Research and Analysis Our ecologists have research experience throughout the UK and internationally. We can design, execute, analyse and report surveys or experiments for a specific objective or ecological question.
