Ecology report discrepancy?

[Peasgood]

I don't know much about these things but having had an ecology report done on some potential development land, the report mentions some Lawsons Cypress along one of the boundaries.

These are 80'+ leylandii and possibly a hundred of them.

 

What would you make of that mistake considering you just paid for this service?

Or is it so insignificant I am being nit picking for even asking you?

 

Just struck me as a bit odd to make the mistake, typo maybe.

If I paid for a service like that I'd expect true idents. If the person was unsure of idents then they should have asked another professional to confirm.

[Peasgood]

That's what I thought.

He said there were no newts so that's all I really wanted to hear.

It is not an issue IMO. Makes no difference to the survey.

What's his area of expertise?

[roseyweb]

That's very nit-pickey

[dumper]

If he says no newts accept it and carry on

Of course, they got the bit that mattered right as far as we are concerned.

Was just asking through idle curiosity really.

dont worry about it, but inform him her for their future reference.

 

Amphibious freaks arent reptile freaks, arent tree freaks, arent bat freaks, or fungi freaks

 

each to their own, unfortunately we have to, very often, cross disciplines in order to do our jobs, what time was the survey carried out? if in the last two to three months I would not be happy, newts are difficult to find outside of the breeding season and often go outside of an area from water for suitable crawl spaces that are these days rare!

Why report on something without your expertise? Arb consultants wouldn't /shouldn't report on invertebrate presence would they?
