Gannets, coastline sea birds, covered with oil.

On Saturday 28th November, the tanker “Nadezhda” containing hundreds of tons of oil, ran aground near the town of Nevelsk, on Sakhalin Island in Russia's Far East. Greenpeace experts went to examine the area and found the coastline covered by oil and a stock of gannets also completely oiled. The bird rescue operations started too late.
