This may not apply to Bats in Britain, but a friend of mine in the USA has been working on maintenence of generators attached to wind turbines in Washington, USA.
He noted that some birds had been killed by the blades, but was very surprised to see large numbers of dead bats in the very near vicinity of these wind turbines, most of which had, apparently, been hit by the blades. If a bat cannot avoid them a bird has little chance.
Has anyone in Britain done any work on this form of bat fatality? Or, has anyone even noted that this is happening at all?
