Rare Bird Last Seen in Britain 22 Years Ago Reappears – Only to Be Killed by Wind Turbine In Front of a Horrified Crowd of Birdwatchers
26th April 2014
There had been only eight recorded sightings of the white-throated needletail in the UK since 1846. So when one popped up again on British shores this week, twitchers were understandably excited.
A group of 40 enthusiasts dashed to the Hebrides to catch a glimpse of the brown, black and blue bird, which breeds in Asia and winters in Australasia.
But instead of being treated to a wildlife spectacle they were left with a horror show when it flew into a wind turbine and was killed.
Now that’s comedy.
