Researchers say in light of their findings that power lines should not be built in places where birds risk colliding with turbines as they migrate. Wind turbines operate on a simple principle - the energy in the wind turns propeller-like blades around a rotor. They work in the opposite way to a fan, instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. 'It is therefore a key conservation priority for additional measures to reduce collision risk are implemented in these vulnerability hotspots.
