ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Birds and poles

Dear all!

I've found it terrible, but maybe interesting to all of us:
(about Hungary)

Between Oct and Nov 2004 84 persons gave information about the followings: 4000 poles was controlled, (~320km line) 520 birds of 45 species was found dead beside the poles. Many of them are protected.

Some actions took place but the situation is still very bad.

Put signs on or near poles warning birds of the danger ! That was easy

OK.
