Review of Aberdeen Bay Collision Monitoring Data by The Biodiversity Consultancy

This report reviews collision monitoring data collected at Vattenfall’s European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) in Aberdeen Bay between June 2023 and December 2024. The study aimed to quantify bird interactions with offshore wind turbines using a mono-camera system developed by Spoor AI, focusing on turbine AW05 from a camera mounted on AW10. Objectives included summarizing observed bird activity, assessing potential collision events, and comparing findings with pre-construction collision risk estimates.
