Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what types of birds and what size of
population are supported in the bird reserve in Seaforth Docks; and if she will make a statement. [116610]
Mr. Morley: Seaforth Nature Reserve, owned by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, and managed by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, is
of national, European and international importance for the numbers of redshank (1,590 individuals) and turnstone (760 individuals)
it supports in winter, and of national and European importance for its population of breeding common tern (124 pairs), a species
listed in Annex I to the EC Birds Directive (79/409/EEC). The aforementioned population numbers are average counts from the period
1994-95 1998-99 for the two wintering species, and the period 1996 -2000 for breeding common terns. These were the most recently
available data used to justify the inclusion of part of Seaforth Docks within the Mersey Narrows and North Wirral Foreshore
potential Special Protection Area (in accordance with the EC Birds Directive 79/409/EEC) and Ramsar site (in accordance with the
Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat 1971).
