    Perhaps important BBC news report, given plans for wind farms in HK, especially Ninepines.

    Quote:
    The RSPB says nine white-tailed eagles have been killed on the Smola
    islands off the Norwegian coast in 10 months, including all of last
    year’s chicks.

    Chick numbers at the species’ former stronghold have plummeted since
    the wind farm was built, with breeding pairs at the site down from 19
    to one.

    Scientists fear wind farms planned elsewhere could also harm birds….
