Hen Harriers Harried?

The local authority granted permission to Scottish Power Renewables for a 14-turbine windfarm near  Ballantrae, but the RSPB claim that the hen harrier population in that area could now be wiped out ..

The RSPB’s Chris Rollie said, “We have made it clear from the outset that this is a sensitive site. Hen harrier populations across the UK are really under threat and protected sites such as this one should provide safe refuges for this species.”

Monster Turbines to Over 400ft
