lol this is literally a press release on a Wind energy company's website, specifically "one of Europe’s largest energy companies" according to themsevles. You're seriously posting a company's press release on here?

Vattenfall is Denmark’s largest offshore wind operator, and is also active in onshore wind, charging solutions and electricity supply.

lmao

Companies employ consulting studies pretty regularly to make sure they won't be held liable for environmental damages either. It's not the same vein as PR research because good PR/fake results don't stop lawsuits. I don't know about Denmark, but in the US, they'd be following EPA standards for an Environmental Site Assessment.
The study is linked in the article, they used a combination of video cameras and radar detectors. Please let me know if any of it is inaccurate.

They way to know if any of it is accurate is if studies not funded by them have reached the same conclusion
