I knew I was spelling Wittenham Clumps wrong. Couldn't be bothered at the time to look it up though.

I hate those wind turbines too. Not good for birds either, has caused many deaths.

Did you see my pictures of Whittenham Clumps, Edward?  


Yes, Sue, I found your pics of Wittenham Clumps under 'Little Wittenham'. I like your picture of the lone tree.

I have taken a few pictures up there, but I think the views you get from there are more interesting than 'The Clumps' themselves, which are now very overgrown.

and looking towards Berinsfield, perhaps a more pleasant prospect than the Power Station !

The problem with wind turbines is that they rarely deliver electricity at a sensible price. The worst example to date is a wind turbine in Wales which generates just an average £5 worth of electricity per month and cost £48,000 to put up !

You are correct, Sue, about the bird deaths caused by wind turbines. See this link
