"Dangerous flight into the wind farm"
Idw
A pilot study suggests wind turbines attract bats, reports science news service idw. “They seem to appear particularly appealing to female noctule bats in early summer,” the report says. A researcher said the bats might mistake turbines for dead trees, which make ideal homes for the bats. Small changes to the operation of existing wind farms would be sufficient to minimise bat fatalities, according to the report.
