What this layer shows
Recorded common swifts. GBIF records marked present under CC0 or CC BY 4.0, with up to 300 records requested per view. An empty map proves neither absence nor that no records were submitted: licensing, location checks, precision filters and the display limit affect what appears. Records with stated uncertainty over 10 km are omitted; over 1 km they are drawn as circles. These historical records are not a site survey or a determination of legal protection. A record does not establish a current nest or roost location.
Not in the app's radius search: Observation records, not designations: an absence here is not evidence

Quickscan
What a consultant checks first: Natura 2000, National Parks and Ramsar wetlands, the public-law restrictions from the Wkpb register, rijksmonumenten, beschermde stads- en dorpsgezichten and World Heritage, the flood defences with their protection zone from the legger, and the province's water abstraction areas, groundwater protection areas and boringsvrije zones. The omgevingsplan and the Natuurnetwerk Nederland are missing here; for those, consult the Omgevingsloket and the provincial omgevingsverordening.
Nature
For the quickscan natuur and the natuurtoets: the Natura 2000 sites split by Habitats Directive and Birds Directive, so that for each site you can see under which directive the conservation objectives apply, together with the Nationale Parken, the Ramsar wetlands and, at sea, the fisheries measures in the North Sea. The Natuurnetwerk Nederland is not yet available as a national layer; consult the provinciale omgevingsverordening for that.
