Scientists to Investigate Wind Power Impacts on...
Rated • 1 review • nature, news, wildlife, birds • thebirdersreport.com
This is something I have been banging on about, to anyone who will listen, for a long time now. Too often these wind turbines are sited without sufficient study on their impact on wildlife and birds in particular.
In September 2005 phase 2 of the Smola Wind Farm opened in Norway, by May 2006 9 Sea Eagles had died due to colliding with rotor blades.
The usual argument is that more birds are killed by cars than wind turbines, which is undoubtedly true, but more people are killed by cars than murderers, should we leave the murderers free to continue? -

BBC NEWS | UK | Big Ben celebrates 150th birthday
Rated • 1 review • history, news • bbc.co.uk
Today is the 150th anniversary of Big Ben.
The clock started working on the 31st May 1859, but the bell, which is named Big Ben did not chime until the 11th July 1859.
The clock tower itself is actually named 'The Clock Tower of St. Stephens' and is the third largest free-standing clock tower in the world.
A clock tower was originally built in Westminster in 1288. The current tower was built as part of Charles Barry's design, following the destruction of the previous Palace of Westminster in a fire on the night of the 22nd October 1834. -

Where the name Rusticolius comes from I don't have clue, but Mark Wilson has a small selection of nice images on this site that are well worth a look.

This fascinating photo of a greylag goose in mid-whiffle was taken by Brian MacFarlane at Strumpshaw, Norfolk, UK.
For those who don't know whiffling is what birds do when they land, tipping from side to side to lose height.
