The Red Kite is a particularly wind-sensitive bird species.

Birds are subject to an increased risk of collision with wind turbines during migration.

On mountain passes, there are very limited opportunities for birds to avoid wind turbines.

Wind turbines extend a long way up into the airspace. As a result, they alter bird habitats and pose a collision risk.

Access routes to wind turbines affect habitats.

When visibility is poor, birds can barely recognise wind turbines. In this case there is a considerable risk of collision, especially for migratory birds.
