A red kite has been found dead at a wind farm which RSPB Scotland had objected to because of concerns the turbines were a threat to rare birds.

 

The bird was one of three kites, adopted by primary schools, which the BBC Scotland news website reported last week as having gone missing.

 

The raptor was found at Fairburn wind farm, near Dingwall. Its injuries included fractures and bruising.

 

Scottish and Southern Energy said it was also probing the death at its site.

There a small chance that the so called windmills will provide some entertainment then. We can all watch them fall over in the next big gale

If there is any luck that is

At the bottom of the windfarm supporters homepage it says "your shetland Your choice"

why then when polls show the people are not for it are they still spending our money trying to push it forward.

 

Should it not read your shetland your money and f**k what you think your getting it anyway

^^^^ It's because the polls are just that, a poll of a selection of Shetlander's, not a referendum. And anyway, the majority were either for or undecided, those opposed were a minority.

 

The decision hasn't been made yet. The revised proposal hasn't been released yet.

 

This means we supporters have as much right to argue our case as you have to argue yours.

Ah this old chestnut again. Check your semantics old boy. A majority were opposed to the windfarm. Not an absolute majority, but a majority, as in the largest overall group.
