My only thought is that sounds plausible enough. I read a similar
scientific paper a few months ago, which I'll provide a link to if I
can remember where I put it. I can't remember the figures, but
remember thinking that we've been fed some myths about how bad wind
turbines really are for birds, conversely though, no-one else had
mentioned bats.
I'll have a look for the paper. Or, was there a reference in the NS
article? I've got acces to some good library databases.

Hi friends,
In an article in the New Scientist I recently received (12
May,2007,p.4), it
was reported that although wind turbines did not seem to cause
signficant
problem for birds, it has been found in the US that the main vitims
of such
turbines are bats. The article speculated that possibly the high
frequency
noise from the turbine's gears might disrupt the bats' echolocation
system.
I find this very worrying. Any thoughts?
