Impact of Wind Farms on Moorland Birds in the UK #GBR

KEY TAKEAWAY: Moorland turbines displace birds and harm breeding success. Global lessons In general, there are several ways in which birds can be affected by wind farms. These include: direct impacts through collision with the rotor blades. indirect impacts through habitat loss, disturbance displacement, or barrier effects. Most papers agree that wind farms can have negative effects on bird species, with different risks to different groups – for example, high-flying, larger, less manoeuvrable species are at greater risk of collision . . .
