FARK headline is the best.
Dozens of bird-watchers rush to British island to see rare bird (last seen in UK in 1991). And they saw it, all right, as it got splattered by a wind turbine.
More info and pics at the link.
HA_HA!

This one event will do more to affect the subject of renewable energy than 1000 articles by commentators. Well done.

But at least it was GREEN power that killed it, just think how much worse it would have been if the swift was killed by fossil fuels!

Bill presents Lyn with an eagle feather.
BILL: Native Americans believed that when one received an Eagle feather, it was the mark of love, of gratitude and ultimate respect. Only true Human Beings may carry the Eagle feather.
He gives the feather to a deeply moved Lyn, as the other Jedis applaud.
[Later:]
BILL: It isn’t real.
BOB: What isn’t?
BILL: The feather. Twenty thousand dollar fine for taking an eagle feather. This one’s off a turkey. You just dye the tip black. Don’t tell Lyn.

The bird was swift as lightning,
and swift as the wind.
Swift and sure it flew,
like an eagle but it had sinned.
Life is short and time is swift,
forever more will the Swift fans be miffed.

They’re actually from east Asia. The birds aren’t rare per se, they are what are called “accidentals”, i.e. birds that are found far from their normal range.
