The BDR utilises two JRC marine radars; the S-band surveillance antenna detects birds in the horizontal plane, and the X-band is mounted in the vertical plane. The S-band and X-band radar antenna heads were positioned at a height of approximately 4 m above the ground (approximately 8m asl). The X-band altitudinal radar scans above the unit through a narrow beam in an arc to 1.4 km (0.75 nautical miles) whilst the Sband surveillance radar covers an area with a radius of 11.1 km (6 nautical miles). These ranges are based upon the known radar performance characteristics and the radar cross-sections of individual birds (Eastwood, 1967; Rinehart, 1996). Radar returns are generated by potential targets, permanent landscape features (“clutter”) and by randomly generated returns (“noise”). Returns are filtered, using specially developed algorithms, which differentiate between potential bird targets and other returns, such as noise or clutter and are then recorded to a Microsoft Access database. This process runs continuously. For every new 24 hr period the database software creates a new database.
