"Prestige" oill reaches coast of France - first oiled birds found
 
 
Attn BirdLife Network and staff
 
The Prestige oil spill has now reached the south-west coast of France. LPO have issued a news release which you can read (in French) at: http://www.lpo-birdlife.asso.fr/comm/2002/comm2002-12-16.htm
 
The key points (in English) are:  
* Since 30 December over 100 oiled birds have been recovered along the south-west coast of France, including Guillemots, Gannets, Kittiwakes and Puffins.
* These birds have been analysed and the oil on their feathers is the same as the oil spilled from the "Prestige"
* LPO has helped set up a network to monitor the coastline and recover oiled birds.
 
That's all for now
