Witness the heartbreaking reality of pollution with this powerful photograph from our Media Storehouse collection. The Common Guillemot (Uria aalge), a once vibrant and agile seabird, lies lifeless on Chesil Beach, Dorset, England. This tragic image, captured by FLPA/Steve Trewhella from FLPA Images, reveals the devastating consequences of contamination from polyisobutene oil additives. The waterproof coating of this bird, essential for survival at sea, has been compromised, resulting in its inability to float. This poignant photograph serves as a stark reminder of the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact of human activities on our natural world.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious photo print, a Common Guillemot is seen washed ashore on Chesil Beach after an unfortunate encounter with polyisobutene oil additive at sea. This poor bird's ability to float and stay dry has been seriously compromised, leaving it in quite the predicament. With a comical expression on its face, the Guillemot seems to be pleading for assistance in locating its missing waterproof coating. Perhaps it's hoping that some kind-hearted beachgoer will come to the rescue and provide a fashionable replacement! While we can't help but chuckle at this feathered fashion faux pas, there is a serious message behind this image. It serves as a reminder of the devastating effects of marine pollution on our precious wildlife and coastal ecosystems. Let's take a moment to reflect on how our actions can impact these beautiful creatures who call our shores home. And maybe next time you're out shopping for additives or chemicals, consider choosing ones that are more environmentally friendly – your local seabirds will thank you!
