вЂњThis could result in injury or death to individual birds.вЂќ The red outline shows the proposed site of the new solar farm Solar farm would вЂalmost surroundвЂ™ homeДЄndrew West and his family have lived next to the proposed site since 2018 and said the new development would вЂњalmost surroundвЂќ their home. It said: вЂњThe presence of solar panels represents a collision risk to waterfowl which may mistake them for water bodies and attempt to land on them. The nature agency also fears birds could mistake the shimmering sea of panels for a body of water, plummeting into the site at risk of injury or death. They say the construction phase could вЂњcausing disturbance to foraging geese and swansвЂќ, with that precious habitat вЂњpermanently lostвЂќ as a result. Feathers fly over eco schemeД«ut NatureScot has raised concerns that the location, close to the RSPBвЂ™s Loch of Strathbeg nature reserve, could spell disaster for birds. The Loch of Strathbeg nature reserve is maintained by the RSPB. The major project will ultimately be determined by the Scottish Government, but Aberdeenshire councillors will this week decide their response.ДЄnd officers have recommended that members raise no objections. The 50 megawatt development would be one of the biggest solar projects in the UK if it gets the go-ahead.
