Food fears for UK seabirds
A ban on fishing sandeels in the North Sea is welcome but comes too late for this year's seabirds, says the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds… Many seabirds feed on the sandeel and its decline was blamed for the worst breeding season on record in 2004. But the RSPB says seabirds are breeding late again this year, and some are not even bothering to nest at all.
