Anyone seen this one? - developers are now trying to present their environmental credentials by taking specific steps to further the welfare of raptors that might be affected by their schemes.
At Camster, the new idea is to make the habitat under the turbines unwelcoming for hen harriers, by felling trees and leaving them there in a sort of wasteland, so that voles will not establish, and the harriers will avoid this dangerous location.
Yesterday, the P & J reports on a wind farm scheme in Argyll whose tack is to pay other landowners £30 a throw for hill hares to re-introduce under the turbines to encourage eagles.
Are they all completely bonkers, or have I missed some subtle method in this madness.
