Windfarms and Birds

About a year ago, news broke that The Scottish Government was set to refuse the Lewis Wind Power windfarm. In a letter to developers AMEC, Scottish ministers had confirmed that they are minded not to grant planning permission for the massive development. Of course, many islanders were against the proposals, as was shown in various surveys. However, those views were not taken into consideration, it seems. In fact, they came to this decision after being lobbied by environmental bodies, who seem determined to block just about everything  In fact, the government are going to refuse it, not because of any consideration for the lovely, long legged type of bird, but for the feathered kind.
