Metadata: Birds_Black Guillemot
Abstract:
Black Guillemot sites were mapped around Shetland as part of the oil spill sensitivity maps commissioned by SOTEAG. The distribution of Black Guillemots were based on surveys carried out by SOTEAG on annual basis. Black Guillemots were mapped in addition to vulnerable seasons for birds (wintering, breeding and moulting) based on the particular vulnerability of the species; to oil spills. They are present throughout the year in high numbers and feed in rafts below the colonies in early mornings and evenings, and can occur especially around the tidal streams of Yell Sound.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2559 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Birds_Black Guillemot |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 1d7b9c928d952de467ca96772f4b1534 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | SOTEAG_Black_Guillemot |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-01-13 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-09-25 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 10 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Black Guillemot sites were mapped around Shetland as part of the oil spill sensitivity maps commissioned by SOTEAG.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created with the help of Martin Heubeck, SOTEAG and Paul Harvey, Shetland Amenity Trust. Black Guillemot sites were mapped around Shetland as part of the oil spill sensitivity maps commissioned by SOTEAG. The distribution of Black Guillemots were based on surveys carried out by SOTEAG on annual basis and held by the Shetland Biological Records Centre. Black Guillemots were mapped in addition to vulnerable seasons for birds (wintering, breeding and moulting) based on the particular vulnerability of the species; to oil spills. They are present throughout the year in high numbers and feed in rafts below the colonies in early mornings and evenings, and can occur especially around the tidal streams of Yell Sound. Limitations of the data include 1. Not all data has been collected systematically and all areas have not been surveyed so there will be an observer bias. 2. Seabirds breeding elsewhere in the northern half of Shetland can use Yell Sound as a fly-way, and can feed there. 3. This data was created in 2015 and has been updated in 2017. |
