BBC reports
About 35 bird flight diverters have been installed at a Northumberland farm after a number of rare birds died when they collided with power lines.
It is hoped the diverters, at Highside Farm, Hexham, will stop the birds from flying into the lines mid-flight.
The measures were put in place after farmers noticed a concerning number of bird fatalities, including several breeding curlews and black grouse.
Both species are on the UK Red List due to their declining populations.
