The Eastern White Stork "beats" the drone, and bird photography can only be viewed from a distance |! BOCN

Recently, on an electric tower in Sihong, Jiangsu Province

An Oriental White Stork couple's home

Here comes an "uninvited guest" - aerial drones

The White Stork couple joined forces to defeat the enemy

It only took two or three seconds to take the drone off

The neat posture won the admiration of netizens

Bird experts and many netizens have reminded

Drones shoot up close

It will interfere with the normal reproduction and habitat of birds

The drone's rapidly rotating blades

It can also cause harm to birds

The Green Committee Standards Committee took the lead in drafting and publishing

The Code of Ethics for Nature Photography is clearly stated

Try not to use aerial cameras to chase wild animals, avoid disturbing birds and other wild animals normal nesting, resting, foraging and brooding; maintain a safe distance; use flash with caution to minimize the use of artificial light sources; and (nature photography) Strictly prohibit harming wild animals.

(The public welfare fundraising function has been added here, if you need to donate, please check to today's headline APP)

In fact, drones on transmission lines under the bird's nest

It also poses a security risk

In recent years, because the drone is hanging the line

Power outages occur from time to time

To protect power utilities from drone threats

Article 35 of the Jiangsu Provincial Electric Power Regulations expressly stipulates

Drones shall not be released within the protected areas of electric power facilities. Where it is necessary to release unmanned aerial vehicles due to agricultural, water conservancy, transportation, environmental protection, surveying and mapping operations, etc., the consent of the owner and manager of the power facility shall be obtained, and corresponding safety measures shall be taken.

So, how big is the power facility protection zone?

Article 10 of the Regulations on the Protection of Electric Power Facilities

The protected area of overhead power lines is: the area within the two parallel planes formed by the horizontal extension of the wire to the outside and perpendicular to the ground, and the extension distance of the edges of the voltage wires at all levels in the general area is as follows:

Within the protected area of the overhead line

Except that drones cannot be released

You can't fish or plant trees

as well as activities that may endanger the safety of power facilities, such as the construction of buildings

So, how to judge the voltage level of the line?

There is a very stupid but practical method: count the number of insulator pieces

An insulator is a special insulation control, usually made of glass or ceramic, whose main function is to achieve electrical insulation and mechanical fixation. The small pieces we usually see on wires are them. The number of insulators assembled is different depending on the voltage level of the line.

In fact

Once found there is a bird's nest on the power pole tower

It's best not to rush to shoot birds first

Because I didn't get it right, I folded the drone

Compensation is also required for losses caused by line failures

and pay the fine

The right thing to do is to notify the power authorities immediately

The safety of the nest is assessed by the power staff

Bird droppings and nesting branches fall onto the wires

May cause a short circuit fault in the line

It can also cause electrocution injuries to birds

So the power staff will install insulated baffles under the nest

Install insulator sheaths, etc. on the line

And regular inspections

Keep birds safe and the lines running properly

In this beautiful spring of birds and flowers

Let's put the concept of loving birds and protecting birds

Implement it into little action

Work together for the "Sky Elves"

Create a safer and more peaceful world!
