Climate change: for the birds? Well, some of them

Long-distance migratory birds are adjusting their migration patterns to accommodate climate change. But it's not all good news, as changes in temperature are negatively affecting the food supplies of many species, especially sea birds.

Humans have long had an affinity for birds - perhaps it's their ability to fly that captures our imagination and therefore our hearts. Hopefully when we take note of the effects of climate change on their populations it will spur us into further action, but will that be too late?

Meanwhile, a reversal of fortune for the song thrush, as reported by the Times.
