Although exact total deaths is difficult to quantify, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs launched a pilot scheme to paint wind turbines black to stop it happening.
This pilot aims to test whether turbine blade painting will reduce bird collisions - helping ensure nature recovery goes hand-in-hand with making Britain a clean energy superpower.”.
Offshore wind turbines will be painted black in an attempt to stop bird collisions and deaths, according to reports.
A previous study in Norway found that painting a wind turbine black reduced bird collisions by 70 per cent.
When Sir Keir tried to stick to subjects such as defence and his Washington visit starting on Thursday, the US President veered off topic about “windmills” - Trump’s nickname for them - and their effect on avian wildlife.
