Wind Farms Eyed In Surge Of Dead Whales On NJ, NY Beaches (24)
Tiger_Moth: We should adopt the Norwegian idea and paint one of the wind turbines black as apparently it has cut down deaths by 70%
Did you mean one turbine, or one blade?Would that work in all situations, that is, with different visual backdrops?
Sometimes the turbines fall still with one blade pointing directly downwards creating the impression of Jesus on the cross. I'm wondering what the aesthetics of one painted blade might create, besides Jesus with a whole sleeve tattoo.
There's a single windmill on an industrial site not far from here that has been painted with yellow blades/hub and a green tower. It looks like our national flower, the daffodil. I wonder if that might reduce wildlife mortality, or how art and practicality could be combined.
I'd love it if all the turbines that I can see from my flat were painted like daffodils, or were visually creative in some other way.

A study financed by Vattenfall and a group of Norwegian partners on the island of Smøla in Norway has already examined the black dyeing of a wind turbine blade. That study showed that painting one blade of a wind turbine rotor black resulted in 70 percent fewer collision bird victims.2 Feb 2022Would that work in all situations, that is, with different visual backdrops?

Oh Tiiiigeeer...! You know I want the technical stuff on why that works, don't you?

As wind energy has grown in popularity, reports of birds killed by wind turbines have become more common. Few studies have investigated the phenomenon, but estimates suggest that between 10,000 and 100,000 birds are killed by turbine blade strikes annually in the UK.
