Killer Cables
Another reason to hate the spaghetti of ugly overhead electrical cables: blog, La misteriosa isla de San Barandán, report that for the Día Mundial de las Aves (World Bird Day) that was celebrated in Spain last weekend, volunteers from SEO/Birdlife collected 200 birds that had been killed by electrocution or collision with cables in the previous week.
Among them they found various species that are under threat of extinction. These cable inspections were carried out in the communities of Castilla y León, Madrid, Castilla La Mancha, Extremadura, Andalucía and Aragón.
The overhead cables are already vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather, dangerous to rescue helicopters and, in my opinion, pig ugly on an island that relies on its beauty to attract tourists as it's main source of income. There are also many overhead cables and protected species of birds here in the Teno Rural Park.
