Electrocution Story
Leading to Jimmy's Untimely DeathHow Jimmy the Osprey Came to be Electrocuted
The 4 factors which conspired to cause Jimmy's untimely death:
An OSPREY
with a fish
being a bird with
a large wingspan,
a small wing to
weight ratio and
prefering a high point
PERCHED on a
KILLER POLE
with live wires
close together, a steel
cross arm to earth,
uninsulated jumpers
+ an old transformer
In OPEN MOOR LANDSCAPE
with few perching
alternatives, Jimmy
was flushed down
Hiraeth Moor
towards Pentrefloelas
In RAIN, WIND
+ LOW MIST
impeding visibility,
requiring wing
flapping for stability,
increased conductivity
+ electricity risks
