Very pleased to publish this review of migratory soaring bird monitoring in one of the most globally important flyways.

Through coordinated efforts, we can learn much more about some of the most remarkable birds in the world.

⚠️ CAUTION! Video does not make for nice viewing. Sadly, it was not the only Whooper Swan under this stretch of wires. It was one of 18 dead! Powerlines, in certain areas, still pose deadly risks to our waterbirds. 2/3

🌍Nature & energy must work together!🌳⚡️
At #Wingspan2024,@TrisAllinson urged a balanced approach to energy deployment while protecting birds by using the mitigation hierarchy—Avoid, Minimise, Restore, Offset, Improve🌱💡
