RSPB Blames Deaths of Rare Eagles on Turbines
Wind turbines have caused the death of four rare, white-tailed eagles on islands off the Norwegian coast, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said yesterday.
The failure of as many as 30 other white-tailed eagles to return to breeding areas has added to concerns about the impact of wind farms on wildlife.
Europe's largest eagle is found on the island of Smola, Norway.
The birds have also begun returning to the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland. The dead birds were discovered between August and December. Two had been sliced in half, apparently by a rotating blade.
