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.
Well I stand corrected...to some extent.

Just read this explanation:

“They are attracted by sense of smell, the plastic gets covered in algae which emits a chemical called dimethyl sulphite. This acts as an olfactory signal that ordinarily alerts the bird to the presence of krill”

This from my recent trip to see Eric, very wet dull day in the woods. Nikon D850 500mm f5.6 PF lens hand held 1/400 sec f5.6 2000 ISO 1/3 of the full frame NEF processed in Photoshop CC RAW with mild noise reduction and sharpening.

Yes. Arthritis in my left shoulder and neck has got to the point that using the Nikon gear just caused pain and was spoiling my enjoyment of photography. So I've gone Olympus M1 and 300mm f4.

Iain I hope your shoulder improves but I guess it is a long term problem that we will all face in time.
Please continue to post here as you use the Olympus.  
I am camera neutral and we need to remember it is a tool not an item of jewellery.

This is the same day as above and the Black Tailed Godwits take to the air. (For those who fdo not know the very similar Bart Tailed Godwits do not have the white bands on the wings.) This is also with a Nikon 500mm lens.
