This morning I was out monitoring the progress of how some peregrines are faring, little did I suspect coming across a buzzard carcass, directly under a wind turbine. Is it fair to criticise the methods of how the electricity we all use is generated?. Model's are generated for bird strike predictions during the planning stage, to estimate the casualty rate. Earlier this year I was asked if I had ever come across just such an incident, no I hadn't. Since then I've had a report of a badly cut up buzzard at my local wind farm, now today's addition. I wonder if the "model" took in the time of year for the outcome of this poor individuals breeding outcome, if there's chicks in a nest somewhere their chances of survival have been severely diminished, the risk of predation and chilling is greatly increased as it's partner will have to be away from the nest for longer periods to hunt. If asked the question again what figure do I answer with now?..
