Hi,
Is there anyone out there that can offer advice, about wind turbines affecting a breeding pair of birds, If it gets planing it will be 900mts from their nest site, The survey by the developer is very suspect, recording one flight, at more than two miles away, They can be seen every day along with this years young male, I think that a 84mt turbine this close will drive them away, what's your thoughts on this, photos taken from indoors,

Snork, I wish I was that close to hen harrier. You will not get a definitive answer on here. To give you that needs a proper Environmental Assessment and would need a lot of expertise.

Beautiful pictures Snork. Afraid I can't give any advice on the turbines - I just wanted to comment on the pics.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Hi, thanks for your contact, I have more pics, i will post them soon, we have only been taking pics since the turbine was proposed but they were taken from the lounge, If you are ever up this way let me know and I will show you were they are, kind regards graham
There was another thread posted the other day on this subject so it may be worth looking that out.Some of the raptor forums seem to suggest the turbines would be detrimental to birds.The RSPB willhave more views on the subject and it is to be hoped their views will be the ones listened to.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Hi Snork, all sites and developments need to be assessed individually, I would recommend giving your local RSPB office a call, hopefully one of the conservation team at you local office will be able to offer some assistance, you can find the details via the link here.
If you have concerns about a particular development and wish to raise these then we have some guidance on how to go about this on our advice pages here.
