And by “climate change”, I mean cold fricking weather
Staff at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Centre in Llanelli have been dumbfounded by the effect the cold weather has had on birds’ migratory cycles.
In recent days the centre has seen “unusually” large numbers of birds arriving “abnormally early” at the wetlands. According to the centre’s website this has included over 800 curlew, 3 whimbrel, 10 greenshank, 100 redshank, 90 oystercatcher and 190 black-tailed godwits. These are birds that would normally only be seen in Carmarthenshire in either Autumn or Winter.
The birds seem to be leaving Iceland early because it is really cold and heading to Wales (yes, part of the United Kingdom) early. Obviously, this is your fault for leaving your DVR plugged in as you head off to work, because greenhouse gases now cause the Earth to get cold.
BTW, it has been pretty darned cool and rainy in southern England as of late, so far another British year without a summer. They may get a brief break for a short spell, but many are predicting a rainy and cool Olympics.
