Black wind turbines to save threatened birds

WIND turbine blades could be painted black in a bid to prevent sea birds at risk of extinction from flying into them.

Thousands of pounds of taxpayers' cash could be spent repainting the white blades to make them more visible, according to a tender submitted by the Government.

Fatalities among "red-listed" sea birds are soaring due to the growing number of eco-energy turbines out at sea.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has proposed a "multi-year programme of work to gather evidence to test whether turbine blade painting is achievable in protecting vulnerable sea birds".

It added that if successful, painting could become a long-term part of its Offshore Wind Evidence and Change scheme.
