Researchers studied the acoustic signals of bats in parts of Germany with many wind turbines.

They found bats avoided an area of lakes and ponds up to 5km away from wind turbines - where they would normally drink water and catch insects.

The findings were labelled a 'tragedy' by the research team as renewable power is needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
