Abstract

Rijkswaterstaat has, under the Wozep project (Wind Power at Sea Ecological Program), commissioned Bureau Waardenburg to review the available published data on bird tracking studies as well as information on existing datasets of tracked birds that contain migration routes, offshore flight speed, altitude or nocturnal activity of species that migrate over the Southern North Sea. The aim of this study is to produce improved figures for use in collision rate models in relation to wind farm developments in the Southern North Sea. The project was designed with three main lines of investigation:

To review the data, published and unpublished, currently available on migration routes and flight behaviour, for designated priority and similar species.
To carry out additional analyses of existing data to obtain figures on flight speed, flight height and nocturnal activity.
To carry out new calculations with the SOSS Band model, in order to obtain improved figures on the number of collision victims.
