A rare sighting of a WTNT in the Outer Hebrides (UK). Only for it to be
killed in a Wind Turbine. As the Telegraph reports "The corpse will be sent
to a museum but obviously this is just terrible. Some people will have lost
the cost of their flights".  Yup - terrible but oddly quite weird, rare
bird, wind turbines and mad twitchers.
