Cutting edge radar and AI tracks bird species and flight around offshore wind farm in 3D for the first time / No seabirds recorded colliding with turbines during two years of monitoring / Avoidance behaviour varies between species at ranges of 150m down to 10m from wind turbine rotor blade

Research using pioneering radar and artificial intelligence technology to track bird flight at the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWC) at Aberdeen has revealed remarkable insights into the flight behaviour of seabird species. The findings form part of a €3million research investment by Vattenfall to learn more about offshore wind and the environment around the EOWDC, one of the largest programmes of its kind in the world. The radar tracked birds flying... ... More: Official Press Release Vattenfall
