The Impact of Noise and Artificial Light on Waterfowl Behaviour: A Review and Synthesis of Available Literature

This study aims to to assess the impact of noise associated with traffic and construction-related activities on waterfowl behaviour, and  the impact of artificial light on waterfowl behaviour, including its effect on migration routes. This provides useful information on mitigation for birds.
