WHAT do migrating birds see if they seek to make land on the Spurn peninsula?
A clue is provided in this thought-provoking image of the 73-turbine Humber Gateway windfarm located eight km off Spurn Point.
HIgh-fliers, such as geese and swans, should be OK, but what about fieldfares, redwings, waxwings, wrynecks and the wind-blown rarities that have long made this part of Yorkshire a magnet for the world's birders?
The windfarm was developed for a reported figure of £700-million and became operational in autumn 2015.
According to Press reports, its current operators, RWE, could soon put it up for grabs by auction, with bidding likely to reach up to £1-billion or more.
