Power lines

A dead Buzzard underneath power lines across my field in Aberaeron on Christmas morning was not a welcome present - it had taken up residence in late October and seemed to be doing well. Broken wing. That makes one Red Kite and a Magpie over the past few years.

I've written to Western Power to see if they would be willing to fit reflectors or whatever - not particularly sanguine about getting a positive response. 

I wonder how many bird kills under unwatched power lines are missed?!
