The renewable energy company planning Swarclett Wind Farm has been accused of taking a “dismissive” attitude over the potential impact on birdlife
Members of the campaign group No to Swarclett claim wind turbines will drive curlews away, “a tragedy for a species that is in serious decline”.
They point out that the recent World Curlew Day – held on April 21 each year – seeks to raise awareness of the dangers these wading birds face
A statement from No to Swarclett said: “They [Wind2] are very dismissive of any impact on wildlife. They tell us that the results of their ornithological assessment determined ‘there would be no significant adverse effects on ornithological receptors (birds) on or in the vicinity of the wind farm’.
“The report they refer to is commissioned and paid for by them. We don’t need to pay for a report to tell us that there will be an effect.
