White-throated Needletail – Twitchers flocking to see rare bird saw it killed by wind turbine

A rare sighting of a WTNT in the Outer Hebrides (UK). Only for it to be killed in a Wind Turbine. As the Telegraph reports “The corpse will be sent to a museum but obviously this is just terrible. Some people will have lost the cost of their flights”. Yup – terrible but oddly quite weird, rare bird, wind turbines and mad twitchers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/10146081/Twitchers-flocking-to-see-rare-bird-saw-it-killed-by-wind-turbine.html Chris Gregory =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
