I agree but we are talking wind development so what else can be expected. I've made my points for anyone who can read so you guys can post away.
But let's not forget amongst all these words that Ireland is the stronghold for the otherwise rare (all be it wide spread) Leislers bat and so is of international importance.

Yawn

Competition from introduced species / loss of habitat is the key factor for the demise of most species.

cba reading the whole thread


Yes it is true that bats have been killed by flying into F117 stealth aircraft, but I'm guessing cats are far worse.

Note you can pretty much ignore US stats. Their bat colonies are bigger than ours. That Texas colony of 40 million bats would have about 8 million bat deaths a year given a life expectancy of 5 years.




Serious question.

Are they Catholic or Protestant bats ?
