Birding On The Edge
I have learned that the local politicians have voted for the windfarm on Lewis. This is an appalling decision and I will not be visiting the islands again in the future.
It is not good for the island, its habitat, wildlife or birds.
I think the local politicians, the owners of the land and developers just don't seem to care about wrecking a wonderful wilderness area. They certainly don't value or respect this wilderness or its wildlife.
It seems to me that money talks. I for one will not be contributing to the Island economy in the future. I also think that many other people will not wish to visit such a place with an ugly and noisy windfarm. My concern for the habitat, wildlife and birds here remains. What about protection for the birds.
Can the politicians decision be challenged in the Europeon court ?
It would be interesting to know how many objections were made in regard to the development.
