A northern gannet (Morus bassanus) of a colony in the north western of the island Helgoland carries parts of fishing nets to use it as nesting material. The Birds are using plastics and other pieces of waste for their nests. They get tangled quiet often, eat bits and pieces of the plastic trash and perish this way because of the garbage. Helgoland, North Sea, Germany.
