  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">To improve the evidence base for assessing collision risk to migratory birds from offshore wind developments, a comprehensive review was undertaken focusing on non-seabird features of UK Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The review collated data for 70 species, covering key parameters including population estimates, migration routes and timing, flight height and speed, as well as avoidance behaviour. High-resolution tracking data for 15 species enabled comparisons with traditional ringing recovery data, supporting the identification of broad migration corridors. Despite technological advances reducing uncertainty in flight speed estimates, significant gaps remain in population size data, flight height distributions, and avoidance behaviour. The findings inform the development of a stochastic Collision Risk Model (sCRM) tool and provide recommendations for improving future assessments of migratory bird collision risk.</dc:description>
