Traditional surveys leave 98% of bird activity unseen – with real project consequences

  • Conservative CRMs are built on predictions rather than real data
  • Reduced turbine numbers to account for uncertain activity
  • Restricted rotor sizes based on estimated flight height
  • Overestimated impact on birds leads to production losses
  • Extended survey periods — up to two years — when one year of robust data can be sufficient

Richer data leads to faster approvals

Traditional surveys

72hours/year per vantage point
  • Daylight & weather dependent
  • Activity outside monitoring hours and nocturnal activity remains unmonitored
  • Visual height estimates introduce error margins that overstate risk

Spoor

4,380hours/year
  • Operates in all weather conditions
  • Monitoring from dusk till dawn — night time monitoring available
  • Consistent automated species-level detection
  • Site-specific rotor-zone data with precise flight height
  • Structured data available in Sky Intelligence Platform ready to be used for collision risk modelling
60x more monitoring hours

Spoor fills in data gaps that stall your repowering project

Continuous data to complement vantage point surveys

Temporal coverage and early identification of ornithological sensitivities reduces permitting and project risk. More data leads to more efficient use of specialist survey resources, enabling greater focus on interpretation rather than observation.

Spoor Dashboard UI

Build a robust ornithological baseline for your CRM

Improve understanding of bird behaviour across both existing and proposed turbine locations — establishing a robust baseline dataset that improves confidence in your turbine layout and collision risk assessment assumptions.

Define the right turbine height for your site

Spoor captures precise, rotor-zone flight height data for your specific site and priority species, building less conservative Collision Risk Models, as well as optimal turbine height.

The Biodiversity Consultancy reviewed 19 months of Spoor monitoring data at Aberdeen Bay

Real-world data from at Vattenfall’s Aberdeen Bay suggests standard collision risk models may be significantly overstating actual risk.

“Spoor’s system was a key enabler for the deployment of the TetraSpar turbine. Spoor’s solution accelerated the path to compliance and was definitely the best solution available for our offshore project.”
