6.4.5.4 Black Kite ( Milvus migrans )

During the 2013 surveys of Crucea North a total of 2 black kites were recorded. During the 2008/2009 surveys of the wider Crucea area, only 1 black kite was recorded and no black kites were recorded during surveys of the Crucea East Wind Farm (Generacion Eolica Dacia SRL 2011). Given the very low collision rate predicted for Crucea North of 0.005 birds per year based on 99% avoidance, and the very low numbers recorded from surveys of the wider area, it is predicted that the in-combination collision risk is likely to be similar to that calculated for Crucea North, and that there will not be any effect on black kite populations which could affect the integrity of any of the SPAs.

Common name: Black Kite.
