The main aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of wind farms on population trends of breeding
passerines assessing between years changes in abundance of the bird species under examination. The
surveys were realized in a pilot area 4 years before and 4 after the wind farm construction, by means of
the point count method. The collected data were then statistically analyzed using TRIM (TRends &
Indices for Monitoring data) software, developed for the analysis of count data obtained from monitoring
wildlife populations. Then, in order to evaluate whether the obtained population trends were influenced
by the presence of the wind farm, they were compared with the national trends of the same passerine
species during the same period. The results showed that during the wind farm construction phase some
species had a decreasing trends but all of them increased their trends when the wind turbines were
operating
