The Effect of the Cardiff Bay Barrage on Waterfowl Populations 6. Distribution and Movement Studies August 1994 - May 1995

This report represents the results of the sixth season of intensive monitoring of the wildfowl and waders using the intertidal areas in Cardiff Bay and its environs.

More extensive monitoring at low tide also covered the intertidal areas between the Taff/Ely estuary and the mouth of the River Usk.

The results presented in this report were derived from data collected between August 1994 and May 1995.

The programme of monitoring closely followed that used for the previous five years, allowing direct comparisons to be made between the six years of study.
