Yes, they are ugly. And are worse than power stations because they can be seen from so much further away. A beautiful view can be totally destroyed when it's dotted with huge turbines. The actual impact is up to each person's individual aesthetics awareness. If the turbines were totally essential then so be it. But we have other ways of generating power. Maybe a better idea is for individual properties have small turbines instead of solar? Just a thought.
Effect on birds depends on where they are in relation to flyways. Off shore where only an occasional albatross passes through and may or may not be unlucky, is different from if they were on a cliff where migrating birds pass every 6 months. But offshore would likely have huge impacts on the sea floor. Just as many places on land would have huge impacts on the native environment.
