NS9154 : Turbines, Whaup Knowe

near to Climpy, South Lanarkshire, Great Britain

Turbines, Whaup Knowe

Black Law power station. While I heard no whaups (Numenius arquata) there was plenty of other birds around, and no sign of them being blended - wind turbines are sometimes known as "bird blenders"

Now authentic looking boggy moorland, the 1:50000 map shows this as former open cast coal mining land.
