if you are worried about wildlife around the beach from being in danger, fear no more because this week one amazing lady saved an entire species from death...

Not 1st of April again yet is it?

What an odd thing to a) do, and b) report about.

'It must have thought: “Water at last!”' he said, radically overstating the cognitive abilities of mussels.

Good on her!

The mind boggles. At least it's nice to see Metro increasing the amount of serious reporting they do.

Yeah, good on her.....

If the story is true, which I have no reason to doubt, I find it heartening that there are people out there who will take the time to try and do 'something about it'. It would have been so easy for the lady to just throw the mussel, but why kill what you are not going to eat?

Hope this is a trend that catches on in the world.
