Abstract
⺠In winter light-induced bird strikes occur regularly on vessels in SW Greenland. ⺠Bird strikes occur mainly in coastal areas when visibility is poor. ⺠At least â¼2050 birds are involved in bird strikes each winter in SW Greenland. ⺠The common eider accounts for 95% of all bird strike casualties. ⺠High-risk zones for bird strikes can be predicted based on simplified modelling.
