Each 250m radius (=500m diameter) circle represents the breeding territory of a pair of cirl buntings. Each circle is centred on the believed location of a nest located in a major survey in 2009. Cirl buntings are very sedentary and site-faithful and will continue to use the same breeding territory year after year. Studies have shown that this species will travel about 250m from the nest to collect food for their chicks. So, whilst actual territories are likely to be irregular in shape (reflecting features on the ground), a 250m radius circle is a good representation of the likely extent of a territory. NB: It must not be assumed that cirl buntings are absent from other areas. Not all land was surveyed: so the absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence. See also 'cirl bunting wintering zones' layer: the species travels further in winter (up to 2km). Cirl buntings, their young and their active nests receive legal protection in Britain. The species is listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Presence of cirl buntings is a Planning Constraint: see Government guidance PPS9 and Local Plan Policies C16 and ENV12.", "summary": "", "title": "Cirl Bunting Breeding Territory", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": "NaN", "maxScale": "NaN", "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
