Map of the North Sea showing projected wind farm locations occupying quite a lot of its area.

Have you wondered "If all of the North Sea nations built as much offshore wind as their govs have announced, what would the Sea look like"?

Do you need a plausible scenario for farm and turbine locations in 2050, based on that premise?

If so, read this new paper!

I’m no expert but it did sound like a GT to me. MTs have been recorded nearby though (woodland near the Beverley Westwood).

I had one calling on Merlin this morning, in my garden, but could not see it. Calls turning up occasionally on my SongMeter in late February.

there was another Robin Hood in Chirton. Lasted until mid 2000s? The site is now a retirement home I think.

here is today's #crapbirdpic. The mystery bird was singing merrily at the top of a bush on the bank of the Humber estuary.

that is an important figure. I think a slightly modified version of the one in Broecker 1975.

the focus is on environmental impacts of offshore wind here at #osm26 this afternoon. Please come along to Ben Whitcombe's poster at 16:00 to hear about measurements around the world's largest offshore windfarm.

the dolphins in the Clyde are real enough. See Clyde Cetaceans Sightings over on facebook for real-time spotting of the pods from local observers.

I'll stick with decades of ocean colour science. Even under a clear blue sky, seawater can be many different colours.
