Hi Mick etc, 
With regards to the low numbers of Fleshy Footed Shearwaters off the east 
coast, hopefully this is just a temporary feature due to a change in feeding 
patterns and they will return shortly, however, there are articles online by 
Ian Hutton et al (2008) showing that 79% of nestlings on Lord Howe Island had 
plastic in their guts and  Dr Jennifer Lavers states that  96% of nestlings 
contained plastic in 2011.
Presumbly this wouldn&#39;t cause a sudden population decline but it can &#39;t 
be good for the long term health of the population.
