Tristan da Cunha islanders rescue rockhopper penguins threatened by oil slick

Helped by the RSPB, a small, remote community in the South Atlantic has worked together to save 4,000 endangered birds

One of the world's most dramatic wildlife rescues is coming to a successful conclusion on Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Thousands of endangered northern rockhopper penguins, which were caught in thick oil slicks, have been saved in a month-long operation involving virtually all of the islands' 260 inhabitants.

The penguins were trapped in oil released by the freighter MV Oliva when it ran aground and broke up last month off Nightingale island, 20 miles from the main island of Tristan da Cunha. Thousands of these delicately feathered birds – known locally as pinnamins – were coated in thick oil and all would have died but for the extraordinary intervention of local people.

Better yet, don't. Instead, make more threads with vague or cryptic titles to drive Siege even crazier.

They're not just any penguins.   They're Nazgul penguins.
