Birders fake birds death to discredit wind power

55. You're talking bollocks

Birdwatchers in the UK, especially since the advent of the internet, tell each other when there are unusual visiting birds in the country, and some will travel hundreds of miles to see them. Which is what happened here. The BBC story was quite clear about this. No-one thought it "implies that the Western Isles is where this rare bird lives" - because it says "The white-throated needletail, which breeds in Asia and winters in Australasia, was spotted on Harris. About 30 birdwatchers travelled to the island to see the unusual visitor, which has only been recorded five times in the UK since 1950."

I'm surprised to see you buying into the conspiracy theory that the thread starter is putting forward.
