WindAction | Eagle Deaths in Tasmania
Even though the Tasmanian wedge-tail is the largest bird of prey in Australia, it’s no match for 100 tonnes of composite metal and carbon fibre spinning at 300 kph. The x-ray shows an eagle cruelly bisected by a wind turbine blade. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated occurrence – but getting a clear picture of how many of these endangered birds are mutilated by energy assets is hard to come by.
