Birds frozen in oil: image of a desperate summer

[Jazzy]

They are the ghastly images of a summer fouled before it started. Squawking seagulls and majestic brown pelicans coated in oil. Click. Gunk dripping from their beaks. Click. Big eyes wide open. Click. Even the professionals want to turn away. They can't.

Thats so sad

I couldn't look at the pictures properly. I felt so sad.

Poor birds.

That's very sad indeed and one can only hope that the oil leak can be stopped sooner rather than later.



However, I am aware of just how difficult the task of stopping leak is and therefore it may well take quite some time to achieve that.
