预计在未来十年内，海上风力涡轮机容量将大幅增加，这引起了人们对碰撞风险可能对鸟类产生不利影响的担忧。鸟类的飞行高度对这种风险有很大影响，但目前只能使用雷达或船只在有限地区进行观测等方法来估计高度。鸟载数据记录器有可能提供更好的碰撞风险估计，在这里，我们使用全球定位系统（GPS）记录器和气压记录器的数据来跟踪苏格兰东南部（Bass Rock）一个大型殖民地饲养雏鸟的北方塘鹅的三维运动，
A large increase in offshore wind turbine capacity is anticipated within the next decade, raising concerns about possible adverse impacts on birds as a result of collision risk. Birds' flight heights greatly influence this risk, yet height estimates are currently available only using methods such as radar- or ship-based observations over limited areas. Bird-borne data-loggers have the potential to provide improved estimates of collision risk and here, we used data from Global Position System (GPS)-loggers and barometric pressure loggers to track the three-dimensional movements of northern gannets rearing chicks at a large colony in south-east Scotland (Bass Rock), located
