Eider ducks in Northumberland's coastal areas are
being harmed by people feeding them fish and chips, a wildlife expert has
warned. Chris Watson says people living or visiting the area often wrongly
believe eiders are tame as they are "friendly". He told BBC Radio
Four's Broadcasting House the sea birds may seem to enjoy the food but it
damages their eggs. The Northumberland coast is recognised as a haven for wild
birds, including colonies of eiders. Mr Watson, whose work as a nature sound
recordist includes documentaries with Sir David Attenborough, said:
"Normally eider ducks eat shellfish not fish and chips - [which is]
lacking calcium so the eggs are failing. BBC; Nov. 23, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30166120
A chart
drawn for the New Moon of Nov. 22 at Northumberland is shown here. The New Moon
is conjunct Venus and the asteroid Ceres on the MC with both square Neptune .
Venus/Neptune/Ceres
People provide food (Ceres) from love and altruism (Venus) that may be based on a
misunderstanding, possible self-deception (Neptune) that becomes a source for sorrow (Neptune ).
All the
significant elements of the story can be seen in the stars so that we could
use the lessons learnt from this story if the New Moon is affecting our charts.
