Artificial bird's nests on offshore wind farm - Catherine - 07-26-2023
The wind farm is off of east coast England. Its purpose is to produce clean electricity. An added bonus is the bird nests that have been installed on the outside of the unit. It provides a safe nesting site for Kittiwakes, an endangered bird species.

This is brilliant. Producing green energy is a good thing. Providing bird nesting sites at the same time is the kind of thinking we need right now.
We need to rethink other projects and find ways to make them work better for the environmment.
