It gives some of us a sick feeling when we hear of the mass silver gull deaths, could this turn into another Esperance? Let’s hope not!
More coverage tonight on channel 9 and 10 news.
As this story shows, since Staurday over 140 seagulls have been found dead around the Woodmans Point area from adjacent to Cockburn Cement's shell sand washing facility to the Ship Building yards.
The DEC seem to have responded quickly and efficiently, however the deaths of the birds at this time remains a mystery. The birds that have been analysed so far have had empty stomach’s likely to indicate a strong poison a day or so before they died and they have not been able to eat since.
For now we have to keep an open mind on this and just wait for the DEC's analytical results to determine the cause of deaths.
So let's wait and see. Hopefully we will learn more soon.

No other reports of for example fish deaths have been heard.
People will now be even more nervous about Lead previously shipped through Esperance coming through Fremantle and eventually the new Kwinana port.For now we have to keep an open mind on this and just wait for the DEC's analytical results to determine the cause of deaths.
So let's wait and see. Hopefully we will learn more soon.

I am prepared to wait a short time to see the results but any delay will just give the spin doctors time to weave their spells.
Just how often are the water & air samples taken, with the amount of pollutants around the DEC should be efficiant and on the ball.
The clock is ticking!
Dont hold your breath waiting for any definitive answer. No doubt they will say it is a naturally occurring phenomena. Just another cover up. Makes me wonder how they sleep at night. No problem if you dont have a concience.
