A wire marker, warning birds for the presence of a wire.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This image shows a wire marker attached to a lightning protection wire on a high-voltage power transmission line. Birds, who have eyes horizontally next to each other, have difficulty estimating the distance to featureless horizontal lines like these wires. These spirals make this easier, preventing collisions between birds and wires. This example is where the Druten–Nijmegen transmission line crosses the Deestersteeg in Deest, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Nederlands: Op deze afbeelding staat een vogelweringsspiraal op een bliksemdraad van een hoogspanningslijn. Vogels, die hun ogen horizontaal naast elkaar hebben, hebben moeite de afstand tot eentonige horizontale lijnen als deze draden in te schatten. Deze spiralen maken dit eenvoudiger, daarmee botsingen tussen vogels en draden voorkomend. Dit voorbeeld hangt waar de hoogspanningsverbinding Druten–Nijmegen de Deestersteeg bij Deest, Gelderland, Nederland, kruist. |
