I didn't know that had happened.

Oh my I had no idea. How sad. RIP

Think they are to make swans and the like more aware of the lines, not to protect from shock, but impact.

Miss Westies input.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Westies passing, I always enjoyed his stories and learned a lot from his posts.

RIP

Very sad news indeed.
I'm sure he is looking down on this thread shouting out that they are bird diverters, but the actual high viz disks have gone, leaving the line taps in place.
