Kittiwakes aren’t your typical gull: They’re small and gentle and feed only on marine fish and small crustaceans. In order to gain consent for Hornsea 3, Ørsted was required to accommodate the Black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), a vulnerable seabird species that could potentially be affected by Hornsea 3.įood shortages and climate change are the most likely factors contributing to the downward trends in kittiwake numbers that have been recorded since 2000. It’s also the first UK offshore wind project to require ecological compensation. It’s expected to be completed by 2025, and it will be capable of powering over 3 million households. Hornsea 3 is a 2.85-gigawatt offshore wind farm that will be located off England’s east coast, around 120 km (75 miles) from Norfolk and 160 km (99 miles) from Yorkshire. Danish wind giant Ørsted has completed three huge artificial nests designed to house a vulnerable seabird species near the UK’s Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm.
