Plea to block wind farm as thousands of bird deaths forecast (www.bbc.co.uk)

Conservation groups are urging ministers to reject plans for an offshore wind farm which the developer predicts will kill tens of thousands of seabirds.

Five charities, led by RSPB Scotland, have written to the first minister to argue that approving Berwick Bank in the Firth of Forth would undermine efforts to protect nature.

SSE says it has already amended its designs to minimise any potential risks to Scottish seabirds.

You know what's going to threaten way more birds than all those things put together? Climate change.

I agree that outdoor cats should be banned as well.

Absolutely, I just wanted to add things that they could talk about right now that would make a bigger difference, with stats that are happening today.

Campaigning against wind farms, but not trying to dissuade pet owners just shows where their priorities really are.
