I have been digging the stuff (rocks) all summer and it's responsible for my left arm almost hanging off, I have been to the doctors today and she told me I have probably torn a tendom with all my activity.  it's certainly very tender.

To all our friends on the forum please watch this film about Albatross. Is it too late for all of us I ask? https://player.vimeo.com/video/218502282?app_id=122963&wmode=opaque

A powerful story. Thanks for posting. I don't know the answer.

Thanks for posting Graham. Very powerful video. Unfortunately we are top of food and intelligence pyramid but cant see we are destroying the planet. If we tackle the problem it must be done on two fronts. Population and pollution. Pollution is easier but it is still difficult as it requires changes in behaviour. Population is much more difficult unless we (all countries) ALL adopt a - one child per pairing concept. This means each couple is only allowed 1 child, if you divorce and remarry (no more kids)! This is hugely difficult socially. We need to reduce population from 7.7B to <2B people. It would take 60 years for this to effect world population in a positive way and 100 years to achieve the necessary <2B level. I have strategies but no answer. The alternatives are not good, i.e. War, over-population and food and water shortages. Oh happy day!

When I throw out of date meat and pies onto the lawn the hoards of gulls swoop down from no where and gobble it up. If I throw out other stuff, for example apple and pears (or parts thereof), they won't touch them. If I throw corn out ...some birds eat it, some wont go near it. My point is ....they seem to know what not to eat....so how come these sea birds are eating plastic tops? I can understand them accidentally scooping stuff up as they skim the waves but then actually swallowing it seems strange. I can equally understand them ingesting small plastic particles swallowed by fish or scooped up with the food ....that they subsequently eat. I can understand open mouthed plankton feeders scooping up floating plastic tops by mistake. But can't quite get my head round the amount and frequency these birds are 'getting it wrong'. The finches and blue tits even 'spit out' less than perfect sunflower seeds and peanuts. I can't imaging them even contemplating eating plastic seeds and peanuts in a container?? The same applies to fish. The whole art of rod fishing revolves around presenting them with the best artificial mimic of their normal food to fool them...and by all accounts it's a difficult skill to master. Fish won't bite for plastic flies. Maybe I am missing a point. But I don't understand why these birds have suspended all their knowledge/experience on what's edible in the oceans.

I find it odd too and the cinic in me wonders whether it is somewhat staged...

I agree Eric, my (limited) Darwinian knowledge suggest that the ones (species) who devour damaging non-food won't reproduce offspring with the same tendencies, if they do then they will suffer the same fate. Millions of species, large and small, have come and gone over countless millennia, which is a factor which will never end, least not while the earth spins. our tenure will be brief by comparison.

Very nice Iain, it looks as though someone has carved smilies or hieroglyphics on the branch!
