Default Damn Scottish starlings.

If they were migrating geese then there could be
some free roasted xmas dinners :-).

Perhaps those 11Kv lines are a bit too 'saggy' though ?.
How would they stay apart during high winds, which
are expected in that part of the country ?..

That was my thought: if the starlings landing and taking off stretch and
swing the wires so much that they touch, even in cold weather when the heat
hasn't made them expand, then a gale could do the same. The wires need to be
tightened.
