    Very interesting reading, whether the birds are simply relocating their breeding grounds, or dying out, it is a sad situation.

    I think the points made in that last paragraph sum up the reasons well - nothing to do with climate change, just over-fishing by greedy fishermen from Russia, Spain, etc. - far away from their own home waters. Can't see more fisheries protection ships being deployed with the present state of the economy either.
