Abstract

This article reviews bird strikes at Irish onshore windfarms based largely upon unpublished accounts and expert opinion. The level of carcass searching is estimated and the effectiveness of carcass searching methodologies is assessed. A standardised method for carcass searching is recommended for Ireland and the UK.
