How far offshore r u the portugese bird is a strange one .

there have been a few Barcelona/Tarbes etc races recently and i'm sure they would cross any portugese birds flying south westerly from france etc which could explain it if they have become mixed up.

I know its a puzzle to me mate.i dont think it will last night,boys on rig said it has been on for aweek before i got here.it was sitting under a container it wont drink or eat.we are approx 68mls off coast england.

if you can try and get some fluids into it with a little glucose if you have any.

[blue lad]

Iv tryed that with birds before in a lot better condition than this poor bird.its been drinking out of muddy puddles for a week.and after a flight like that its done in.
