The first drone surveys have taken place in April. Different types of drones were used to record resting birds at high-tide roosts near Uelvesbüll and in the Norderheverkoog. To investigate possible behavioural reactions of birds to the drone, BioConsult SH experts have systematically recorded the behaviour of the animals prior to, during and after the drone surveys.
Prior to the drone survey, traditional resting bird counts were carried out additionally to compare the results of both methods.
