I see over at A K Haart that Ed Minibrain is proposing changes to home planning permissions thus enabling those wot want to, to be able to have a lekky generating
windmill in their gardens.
You going to get one? First job in the morning? Shut it down and clean the bat and owl remains from the blades and surroundings? Last job in the evening? Shut it down and clean
the blades and surrounds of the remains of birds, butterflies, bees and other bugs? Yet to hear from the nature conservation folks regards this.
Here’s a thought. We all know that nature is continually learning
and evolving and is a whole hell of a lot smarter regards that than those in grubbyment so think on.
We’re always being told of the dwindling fish stocks as reported by our inshore fishermen - sorry, fisherfolk and in the same breath told of the alarming rise in ‘attacks’
on folk walking in coastal areas, eating a sarny or chips, by seagulls owing to diminishing fish stocks.
Are fish stocks really in decline as we’re assured is happening by the climate evangelists or could all this be because, over a short period of time, the fish have figured
out that if they shoal in fairly close proximity to an offshore wind farm, seagulls have learned to move on after seeing a phew of their buddies sucked or blown into those body choppers and folk in boats can’t drag their
nets too near the wind farms so they’ve learned that they can get along better and feel they have a little protection from airborne and boat-borne predators right there. Just an evolutionary thought...

I'll have four ... they'll look good on the windowsill outside my third floor place ... kill the wasps.
James,
Window open and keep your feet cool. Win, win. Possibly not for wasps...
Thanks for the link, I hadn't thought about garden windmills killing garden birds. If they get a few pigeons though...
Supporting anecdata:
When I was offshore it was notable that the no fishing zone round platforms & other permanent structures were absolutely teeming with fish.
It was almost as if not trawling across the area multiple times allowed stocks to recover and contrary to the greenies / trawlerman preference, the best thing to do on abandonment would be to leave all these artificial reefs in the N Sea chopped off 50' below the surface
Anonymous,
Good idea. I remember way back in the day when the first rig I went on, a semi, carried its own bell and dive crew and many times, after a test or training dive, would mention the huge shoals below the rig.
A K Haart,
If all my neighbours get a windmill that will most likely make my garden the prime neighbourhood pigeon toilet.
