Birds

The Animal working groups addressed terrestrial and freshwater avian, mammal, fish, herptiles and macro-invertebrate targets.

The portfolio identifies the following viable occurrences and their surrounding survey site for primary bird targets:

176 breeding bird locations

25 wintering or migrant bird concentration areas

Bicknell’s thrush, a high elevation breeder, and peregrine falcon, a cliff nester, both have over thirty occurrences on secured lands. All the other bird targets have less than ten occurrences on secured lands although several may benefit from policy level protection relative to coastal and offshore features. About one-third of the viable locations for primary target birds occur on land that is managed for biodiversity (Gap 1 or 2).
