In the process of accounting, the type and number of birds, the direction and type of flight (transit, feeding, demonstration), the height and length of the flight, the time each bird was in the observation areas were recorded. Monitoring was carried out during 24 days in 2017 at three observation areas in the territory of the wind farm.
