d) Survey by radar<br />

Radar observations from a surveying ship at Krieger<br />

Flak were carried out during 88 nights and days<br />

between April 2002 and March 2004. The survey was<br />

carried out with ship radar directed vertically towards<br />

the sky with a reach of 1 500 metres.<br />

Generally, the highest intensity of the night ß ight<br />

occurred during the months of April/May and September/October.<br />

mum number of recorded echoes was <strong>for</strong> the night<br />

ß ight 2 967 echoes per hour and km, and <strong>for</strong> the day<br />

ß ight, 1 355 echoes per hour and km.<br />

Those ß ights recorded by radar, were concentrated<br />

to a few days and nights where the ß ight intensity was<br />

greater at nighttimes. Half of the spring ß ights were<br />

recorded during four days and half of the autumn<br />

ß ights during two days. During the summer months of<br />

July/August and during March, hardly any ß ights took<br />

place at night, se table below.<br />

The average number of birds migrating at night was<br />

considerably higher than during daytime. The maxi-<br />

A comparison of the maximum migration intensity<br />

at <strong>Kriegers</strong> Flak with that recorded at Falsterbo shows<br />

that the highest migration intensity is 0.3 – 0.4 times
