Post details: Zombie bird war on Island

Zombie bird war on Island

Startling news from Isle of Wight Radio:

At least a dozen more dead birds have washed ashore on our beaches covered in oil and fighting for their lives.[ref]

The story raises the gruesome possibility that this undead flock will be fighting on despite their unfortunate demise. Who's a pretty... B-b-b-rrrains!

Please sign my petition to ban the mesh on fat balls and peanut feeders for birds.
They have been known to rip off birds feet and trap their beaks.
See the evidence on my blog, or visit the e-petition on the 10 Downing St site.
Thanks.
I would be grateful if this could be widely advertised, as it will only work if we get good numbers signing.

Amusing though the IoW report is (you can just picture the editor!), have you any more reports of the recent oiled casualties? It has just hit us here (East Kent) and the available information is sketchy.
Thanks

There were a few more reported, perhaps a dozen, some alive, mostly dead. All from the SSW coast. The RSPCA took them in so if you ask them they may well have some more accurate statistics, and info from Sussex too. None reported in the last week I'm relieved to say, so we assume it is over.

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
