In the Kuban use silhouettes of birds of prey to protect birds from collisions with screens

On the roads of the Krasnodar Territory, special markings are used on transparent noise screens to protect birds from collisions. On glass panels, stickers with silhouettes of hawks and owls are applied, the press service of the company Avtodor told.

Transparent screens pose a danger to birds: birds may not notice the obstacle during flight and crash into it. The silhouettes of predators help make the glass more noticeable and scare away small birds.

For the first time, such technology was used on the reconstructed section of the M-4 Don highway in the Gelendzhik area. Recently, images appeared on the Ivanovo overpass on the road A-149 Adler — Krasnaya Polyana.

In the future, Avtodor plans to use this experience in other areas of the Adler bypass. First of all, we are talking about places near rivers where many birds gather.

Earlier we told that in the Krasnodar region in recent years, the number of wolves has decreased slightly. At the same time, in the Astrakhan region, Mordovia, Murmansk region and Bashkiria, the population of these predators has grown noticeably. In the Astrakhan region, for example, the number of wolves has doubled in two years.
