A friend phoned me frantically on Friday last to say that the electric company Endesa were taking down all the white storks nests in front of the Frenazo restaurant in Los Barrios and were erecting metal spikes to stop them nesting on the pylons.Thinking that this was rather odd I went to have a look on Sunday and found that they had indeed taken down the old nests but had provided new platforms for new nests and the metal spikes were in fact to prevent electricusions near to the isolators as can be seen in the attached photo.I cannot see Endesa doing this to it´s 1000´s of pylons but it is at least a start.Anyone else seen this development ?....Eddy
When we went on Tom Gullick's assault course back in '92 he was talking about this problem then - the Electricity Companies had adjusted or replaced pylons which were frying Imperial Eagles (!) So I'm a tad surprised that it's still going on 23 years later.....
