Related Topics   Environment   Sports     The migrating Tasmanian Shy albatrosses were the "runners" in the Ladbrokes.com Big Bird Race.   Tiny satellite transmitters had been attached to track them. But two failed to leave hatching islands and 15 died at sea, probably from poor fishing.   All betting income from the race, backed by Ellen MacArthur among others, will be donated to BirdLife International"s Save the Albatross Fund.   Ladbrokes eGaming said: "The early end of the race underlines the fragile position of albatrosses."   (c) 2005 Mirror Group Ltd « Last Edit: Jun 25th, 2005, 7:41pm by Webcreeper » Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com 香港昆蟲網 http://hkinsect.net/forum Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題 => Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
