Interesting that they are burgeoning both here and there. One wonders
whether the same sorts of dynamics are at work.....and what they might
be.

Ongoing and well founded research suggests that the dynamics are much the
same. The single main cause being the massive overfishing of food chain
items. Large areas of ocean around the Americas are now almost devoid of
life, forcing birds and other predators to seek alternatives. These
alternatives are of course also slowly, or even rapidly eroded, as the
birds
then increase to beyond what the resource can bear, and then go into sharp
decline, but only after much damage and destruction has taken place.


White egrets are establishing very well on Norfolk ATM ~ don't know what
they are displacing, as the herons are still ther in number. Maybe there's
more amphibians / small fish?. We are regularly catching triggerfish on
south coast shores too.

Poor old polar bears are going to have to turn back to being brown or else
become extinct the way things are going with the environment / sun / nature.


That's the thing... as ecosystems get messed up, species adapt, if
they can. Then man takes remedial action and persecutes them, because
they have become pests.

Damn... I'm outta limes!
