Seabird monitoring at the Thorntonbank offshore wind farm
Since 2005, the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) performs monthly BACI-designed surveys to study seabird displacement following the construction of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in the Belgian part of the North Sea. Here we report our findings for the C-Power wind farm at the Thorntonbank after four years of post-construction monitoring. Following the concern on potentially high levels of collision mortality among large gull species, we also report the first results of our behavioral study, making use of our transect count data, GPS tracking data and observations with a fixed camera installed on turbine I5 in Thorntonbank OWF.
