archerfish 685 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi trihullCouldn't say one way or the other whether the photo was a setup or not.As a matter of interest, I checked out the details of the image acknowledgements and found this:http://www.algalita.org/index.phpThey appear to be a sincere, non-rabid organisation (unlike some) - and with no hidden agenda - who would just like to have an ocean free of unwanted plastic crap, and that can't be a bad thing.Cheersaf trihull 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reeve 10 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 The picture is of an albatross, i believe on the "midway islands" if im correct, it's near hawaii. It's not "conveniently placed plastic" There are a few videos of it, one of a bird they cut open just after it died. Youtube and google it, you'll be shocked at what they eat!!
