Heathland Habitat Assessment

WFE was commissioned by the RSPB and Natural England to conduct a survey and assessment of heathland habitat for stone curlews in the Norfolk and Suffolk Breckland.

The survey involved visiting each site and categorising the habitat based on vegetation height, an important factor in determining suitability for stone curlew nesting. Habitats were then mapped and areas of suitable habitat calculated.
The assessment provided an indication of site condition and potential for population capacity.
