Yes, March 1967….. as far as I know the first oil tanker disaster….
Exon Valdez was another..I’m sure that there have been others.
It wasn’t just the birds, the coastal ecology was also affected..Just another example of the marks mankind makes on the planet.

Magpie,

I suppose I am older than you are but I want to ask you if you remember the story of the Torrey Canyon Birds.. I do and I was very interested in their plight. It was many years ago in England.

Doh!… how cruel to a poor old fowl! And I bet the popcorn was salted…only geese and Gulls can excrete excess salt from their bodies in the bird kingdom (or so thet tell me)

And not very kind to the other old birds either!

I guess the guy was in the movies because it is so freezing cold here.

In fact, it’s so cold that the local flasher won’t open his coat. He just comes over and describes himself to you…..
