Bird survey - quick risk analysis for your project 

Prior to a land-use project, there is a high demand for knowledge about protected birds. The discovery of species such as nesting golden eagles or barn owls can affect both timelines and costs. An early bird survey provides you with a cost-effective risk analysis that shows where it is wise to proceed, before commissioning extensive field surveys. 

How a bird survey works 

We conduct a desk review based on established data sources and expert assessments: 

  • Data from ArtDatabanken, including classified data. 
  • Knowledge from local ornithologists. 
  • Our experience from large wind power projects across Sweden. 

The delivery consists of a clear map with marked protection zones, a report with risk classification and an oral presentation where we go through the conclusions for your particular project. 

Benefits of a bird survey

The feasibility study provides a quick, understandable basis for the next steps and helps you avoid unnecessary risks. 

  • Cost-effective documentation that reduces the risk of delays. 
  • Clear visualization and risk classification that is easy to interpret. 
  • More efficient project process - setting the right priorities from the start saves time and money.
