Abstract
- Flight heights and behaviour of 1460 Sandwich Terns Thalasseus sandvicensis in the Dutch North Sea were recorded with a laser range finder during ship-based surveys in 2020 and 2021. Over 87% of all Sandwich Terns were flying below 20 m, and fewer than 1.5% were recorded above 40 m, leading to a two-fold increase in the collision risk model estimates for the Borssele offshore wind farm in the Netherlands compared to the current standard flight height distributions.
