Automatic Bird Monitoring & Protection
DTBird® is a self-working System for Bird Monitoring and/or Mortality Mitigation at On&Offshore Wind Turbines (WTG). The system automatically detects birds and can optionally take two independent actions to mitigate bird collision risk: the activation of warning sounds and/or the stoppage of the WTG.
Detection/Collision Control Module
Daylight HD cameras survey 360º around the WTG. Optionally, at night 2-8 Thermal cameras survey the monitored areas around the WTG. Birds are detected in real-time while videos and data are stored. Installation design and operational settings are customized for any Target Species and WTG dimensions. Potential and accidental bird collisions can be recorded and checked in videos with sound through Online access. Collision Avoidance Module
This module automatically emits warning sounds at birds flying in potential collision risk and discouraging sounds for birds flying in the high collision risk area. The type of sounds, emission levels, and installation and operational settings are adjusted to: target species, WTG dimensions and local sound regulations. No energy production loss and applicable to all bird species. Species-specific sounds can be applied.Stop Control Module
Automatic WTG stop and restart according to real-time bird collision risk evaluation. Adjustable to target species/groups. Data Analysis Platform
Online Data Analysis Platform provides transparent access to review bird flights including: videos with sound, environmental data and WTG operational parameters. Graphics and Automatic Service Reports for selected periods are also available. Includes two access right levels: Analyzer and Manager.
DTBird® & DTBat® Worldwide Presence
DTBird® & DTBat® features are demanded by environmental administrations of an increasing number of countries.

DTBird® is operating at WTG since 2009 and DTBat® since 2012.
Latest News
We received great news at the end of last month of the DTBird Anti Bird Rest Prototype project extension from the ELBE Eurocluster Financial Support To Innovation Call: The project is set to end in June 2025. The aim is to reduce the attractiveness of the floating platform to birds, so they avoid perching or nesting. Hence, the collision risk with the blades is reduced. Throughout 2024, the team made up of Researcher/Ornithologist Adrián Fernández, Researcher/Ornithologist Jorge Vallela, AI Software Engineers Jesús Campo & Andrés Baamonde, Head of Manufacturing/Installation Ramón Martín, CTO Javier Díaz and Project Manager Pablo Cos began…
