Norwegian start-up Spoor, whose technology Deep Wind Offshore used for bird surveys at the floating wind area, has developed software that enables the wind industry to measure and report on bird impact, operationalise analysis, and implement mitigation measures, the offshore wind developer said.

Spoor’s bird-tracking technology estimates a bird’s 3D flight path. This data provides insights on bird flight patterns, pre and post-construction. Based on a bird’s flight path, Spoor can detect possible collisions and other flight activity near turbines.
