A recumbent tower and gin pole covered with tern droppings. The original plan was to have “complete commissioning” by August 2002, however technical problems with the inverter, and concerns about nesting terns, delayed the project. For two years the five turbine towers remained in their lowered position at the site. The presence of these structures – providing ideal perching and sheltering ‘habitat’ – likely contributed to the subsequent increase in the size of the pre-existing tern colony in and around the windfarm location.
