There had been only eight recorded sightings of the white-throated needletail in the UK since 1846. So when one popped up again on British shores this week, twitchers were understandably excited.
A group of 40 enthusiasts dashed to the Hebrides to catch a glimpse of the brown, black and blue bird, which breeds in Asia and winters in Australasia.
But instead of being treated to a wildlife spectacle they were left with a horror show when it flew into a wind turbine and was killed.

Maybe this is why they’re so rare.

It was Bush's fault.
Wait. No. It was global warming.
Ummm... well, birds don't really matter as long as we're trying to use renewable energy instead of burning coal. We need a war on coal!

It’s all right. The bird was just emitting CO2 anyway. Not now!

Apparently not rare as much as extremely lost.
Fly thousands of miles in the wrong direction only to get hit by a wind turbine.
