Live Data for Wind: birds, hour by hour.
Demonstration site
Around a wind farm what counts is knowing when birds are active, hour by hour and month by month, and who passes near the pads and the access roads. Below you see how we measure it, with today's data from our demonstration site.

19 frequency notes detectedHow it is calculatedSpectrum groups buzzes by wingbeat frequency: each frequency is a note. These are the 19 notes heard this season, from 115 to 250 Hz. The more different notes appear, the more groups of pollinators visit the site.Source: Oasi 2.0 di Gaminara, XNatura platform data as of November 14, 2026
In the last 30 days: 1,129 buzzes in 386 hours of listening (2.9 per hour). The chart keeps the whole season, also when activity drops.

Birdy · bioacoustics
Birds.
Birdy sensors listen to the site and recognise species by their song. Each detection is a five-second clip you can play again. Pick a species to hear it and to see at what time it sings.

Pollinators.
Every wingbeat has a frequency. Spectrum measures it and groups it into 19 notes: the more notes appear, the more groups of pollinators visit the site. No cameras, no trapping.

Technology
Our sensors.
Wireless and connected over 4G. They are mounted on a post or a tree and transmit on their own.
Inside the sensor
Wildy in 3D, from its design files
This model comes from the CAD files the sensor was engineered with. Turn it, get closer and open it to see where the microphone, the boards and the battery sit.

Parts
From the design
- The model follows today's design: shapes and components may still change.
- The enclosure is made of two halves, front shell and back cover, with a gasket between them.
- Inside are the main board, the modem board with its antennas, the microSD card and the battery; on top, the solar panel on a ball joint.
Model: Wildy v0.17 (STEP)
Wildy, our new sensor: Birdy for birds, Kiro for bats, Spectrum for pollinators, in a single box. Its design is in development.
Camera trap
Films the wildlife crossing the site and recognises the species.

The problem
Around a wind farm the question is always the same: which animals are there, and when. A few field visits give the picture of a few days: what is needed are continuous measurements, in every season and at every hour.
The solution
The sensors listen to birds all year and tell at what time they are active, month by month. The camera traps film the mammals that pass by. The satellite maps follow land and vegetation around the turbines.

A live page
The same page you are looking at, with the data of your wind farm: to share with authorities, local communities and investors.
- 02
Numbers that hold
Every figure has its clip, its map and its method. It can be heard again and checked again.
- 03
Data for monitoring
The same measurements, repeated at the same points, are useful for monitoring before and after construction and for sustainability reporting.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How up to date are the live data for wind?
The sensors transmit several times a day. The page reads the latest detections when you open it and shows how long ago the last reading arrived. Numbers and charts are recalculated every night.
Which sensors does a wind farm need?
It depends on the site: usually Birdy sensors, to know which birds are there and at what time they are active, and camera traps along the access roads and the pads. We decide together after looking at the maps of the area.
Can the live sensor data be used in the monitoring of a wind farm?
They are continuous measurements, with date, time and position, and every detection can be heard again. They can support the monitoring of birds and mammals before and after construction; what your case requires is set by the conditions of the plant's permit, and we look at it with our ecologists.
How do you read the rings of the year in the live data for wind?
The hours of the day run around the dial, with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom. Each ring is a month, from the centre to the rim. The brighter a cell, the more detections in that month at that hour. The two light lines are sunrise and sunset at the site.
Where do the data on this wind page come from?
From Oasi 2.0 di Gaminara, our demonstration site: an oasis followed by 3Bee with Birdy, Spectrum and camera traps in the field. It is not a wind farm: we show it because it has all three families of sensors. The same instruments and maps are installed around a wind farm.
