The title of this post, is the same as that of this media report from Vattenfall.
This is the sub-heading.
Seabirds deliberately avoid wind turbine rotor blades offshore – that is the main finding of a new study that mapped the flightpaths of thousands of birds around wind turbines in the North Sea. Most importantly, during two years of monitoring using cameras and radar, not a single bird was recorded colliding with a rotor blade.
I must admit I'm not surprised, as I've landed a light aircraft many times with birds flying above the runway and I can't remember ever hitting one. But I have seen several dive out of the way.
The report is a fascinating read.
