A community protest group has called for information on wedge-tailed eagle sightings, with fears the local population could be affected by overhead powerlines.<\/p>\n

Darren Edwards is the head of Darley Power Fight, which stands opposed to plans to put the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project (WVTNP) overhead.<\/p>\n

Last December, Mr Edwards asked for people in the area to provide information on local wedge-tailed eagle sightings, with the species particularly sensitive to human interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am collating data on all Wedge-tailed Eagle and nest sightings along the proposed WVTNP corridor through Long Forest, Merrimu, Coimadai, Darley, Pentland Hills and Myrniong,\u201d Mr Edwards said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am focusing on these areas specifically as research has shown there to be a high concentration of Wedge-tailed Eagles through this region. These amazing raptors are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, yet many are killed every year by overhead powerlines.\u201d<\/p>\n

A form has been created at www.darleypowerfight.com.au\/wedge-tailed-eagle-and-nest-sightings\/, with all data being submitted to the BirdLife database.<\/p>\n
