"What are the immediate implications of red kites and buzzards showing no avoidance of wind turbines in the Halberstadt study?"

"A study by the Rotmilanzentrum in Halberstadt found that neither red kites nor buzzards avoided wind turbines in a studied area. This lack of avoidance, however, increases the risk of collisions, highlighting the need for preventative measures like taller turbines. The study, completed in 2023, compared two adjacent areas, one with wind turbines and one without, using GPS tracking data from over 2016."
