Observations during the Second World War on certain types of radar ‘clutter’ interference led to the discovery that flocks of birds can produce substantial radar echoes, and that migratory flights of birds can be tracked by radar. This subject of ‘radar ornithology’ has provided much new information about the flight behaviour of birds; it is now being used to assess the hazards which birds present to low-altitude aircraft.
