Why I rewrote the bird section down a 3 paragraph summary

15 paras for birds and only one for marine life was not fair

Studies repeated info or were contradictory (e.g. night migrants more problem than day or not)

Too many names and numbers

No mention of some modern deterrents such as ultrasound

Siting importance needed stressing

I just performed a copyedit on the article. I agree with the analysis above and note that now the article is also beginning to suffer from needing updating as well. Countercheck (talk) 16:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
