    Very sad news Ems I picked up on FB yesteday - but I guess that's one of the downsides of tracking the birds

    Yes very sad news indeed Ems, but if you didn't try and further our knowledge on these amazing birds, and the hazards they face in a changing world, we could all pretend they just lived happily ever after!!
