Bimble and patch
Thanks for that info (and for your honesty), personally i find it very interesting indeed; sad yes, but very interesting. I have used trains extensively over the years so have in a way contributed to bird deaths in this way. I'd forgotten how fast trains go - 85 mph along a wildlife corridor, or adjacent to RSPB reserves, is going to result in casualties. I've actually never seen any data at all on this, whereas we often see data on cars - eg monitoring of Barn Owl corpses along new trunk road schemes etc.
It's been suggested to me by an bird ecologist who works in renewables, that power lines are probably killing millions of passerines every night during migration times, but the small corpses are almost always unnoticed.
And i read somewhere that brightly lit buildings in N America kill a lot of birds. I guess everything we do impacts wildlife in some way.
Hey ho.
