Protected Species Surveys

We provide robust protected species surveys for your development or conservation project, licence applications or monitoring purposes. Below is a sample of the protected species surveys we offer. Contact us for more information.

Bat surveys

Excellent value bat surveys including bat scoping surveys (preliminary bat roost assessments) and bat emergence/re-entry surveys to inform your planning application or bat licence.

Great crested newt surveys

Great value habitat suitability assessments including HSI, eDNA sampling, presence/likely absence surveys.

Dormouse surveys

Surveys can involve nest boxes, nest tubes and nut searches depending on the habitats and your project details.

Badger surveys

We can help identify if you have any issues with badgers so that we can provide solutions to keep your project on track.

Otter surveys

Detailed field surveys for any project that could affect wetland habitat.

Water vole surveys

We can undertake habitat assessments and field sign surveys of potential water vole habitat.

Reptile surveys

Reptile surveys involve a visual search of a site looking for habitat features and a more detailed survey using artificial refugia.

Bird surveys

We can help with anything from simple nest searching to full scale breeding bird, wintering bird or vantage point surveys for infrastructure projects.

Barn owl surveys

Barn owls can nest or roost within buildings or trees. Projects that could affect barn owls will require survey information to support a planning application.
