Data gaps shape permit conditions and mitigation obligations
When data is limited to short surveys or conservative assumptions, developers face delays, over-mitigation, and long-term operational constraints.
Turning Monitoring into Decisions
Camera-based monitoring, algorithmic detection, and human review turning bird and bat activity into defensible data for EIA submissions and permitting
Monitor
Continuous detection and tracking of bird and bat activity across the selected area — day and night, in all weather conditions.
Validate
AI-assisted and expert-validated species identification for accurate collision risk modeling, and permit compliance.
Put bird activity in context
Correlate bird flight patterns, height, and frequency against wind speed, turbine activity, weather, season, and time of day — for smarter decision-making.
Deliver outputs and data reports
Export structured datasets via the Sky Intelligence Platform — ready for use by environmental consultancies and regulators.
Aerial Activity Monitoring
Continuous, automated detection and classification of bird and bat activity across a site — day, night, and all weather conditions.
- 8K camera resolution — continuously observing a fixed volume of airspace at a site
- 24/7 data collection — suitable for monitoring both bird and bat activity across all hours
- No data gaps — continuous operation eliminates the temporal gaps common in vantage point surveys and aerial photography
- Flexible deployment — mounted on met masts onshore, or integrated onto metocean buoys offshore as an add-on to existing campaigns
Reduce Biodiversity Risks for Future Wind Farms
Challenge
Traditional surveys deliver fragmented, weather- and daylight-dependent data that leads to additional studies, permitting delays, and regulatory risks.
Solution
A buoy-mounted camera system integrated with a metocean/LiDAR campaign: 4,500+ hours of annual daytime monitoring in all weather conditions, with species-level and flight height data.
Outcomes
- Species-level insights that strengthen EIAs and de-risk approval
- Clear visibility into migration peaks and seasonal dynamics
- High-resolution flight-height distributions for robust risk modelling
- Stronger auction bids with credible, data-backed environmental evidence
- Greater certainty for developers, regulators, and stakeholders

Embedded in the Wind Energy Ecosystem
Spoor is building a global ecosystem of trusted partners to enable wind farm developers to maximise their potential
Spoor works alongside environmental consultancies to strengthen EIA services with richer, more defensible bird data — helping you deliver faster, more accurate reporting for your clients.
- Continuous, validated data ready to analyse — species ID, flight heights, flux rates, flight tracks, and more
- Reduce conservatism in collision risk models — empirical avoidance data to challenge overly cautious assumptions and refine CRM inputs
- Regulator-ready outputs — 96% precision, 100% recall, and full-resolution timestamped video for every detection event
- A clear division of responsibilities — Spoor processes and delivers the data; you analyse, interpret, and report
