| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The report in this series presents the work from a project that examined the ability and performance of remotely-operated techniques (such as radar) to observe the behaviour of birds when they are over the sea but near to the coast. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This study reviewed all potential applications of remote technologies, but specifically describes the ability of different radar systems to observe bird behaviour over the sea and the performance of the Thermal Animal Detection System (TADS) in detecting avoidance of turbines by birds and collisions between birds and turbines. The study concluded that conventional marine ships’ navigation radar provides the simplest approach to the collection of data by tracking bird movements in two (horizontal) dimensions, throughout the day and night, to provide an overview of bird flight trajectories and hence movements within a proposed wind farm area. However, visual observations are essential to identify the species of birds involved. The report recommends the use of TADS to identify species and to measure flock size during poor visibility and during darkness. Vertically mounted radar can also provide information on the height of flying birds, although birds near the sea surface cannot be easily detected by such radar when the wind is strong enough to produce large wave reflections. |
