Interesting - a pilot programme to slow/stop the turbines in an offshore wind farm during a bird migration event to reduce the risk of bird stikes.

That's good to hear and the right thing to do.

Yup, sounds the right thing, wonder what tech is employed to get it close to right-ish, feel sorry for long range migrating bird with the additional weight of a tracker to it, but..
4 hrs is a very short window, hardly problematic I imagine, unless you blame shut down / slowing for all your associated energy woes (likely from some quarters)
Well done Holland.

Ripple Kirk Hill is doing a similar thing for bats.
