I suggest you do some research. Here's some for you to start with:

Wildlife Extra News - White-tailed sea eagles threatened by wind farms.

www.windaction.org | Wind turbines are killing condors

http://www.iberica2000.org/Es/Articulo.asp?Id=2968

As for birds living with shotguns, you'd do well to familiarise yourself with the bi-annual slaughter of migrating raptors etc in Malta

Birdwatch - Malta slaughter increases
