Wildscreen was there when this fluffy seagull chick broke out of her shell
and when she was old enough to leave home and fend for herself,
the cameras followed.
As she took off on her first overseas trip,
Wildscreen recorded her incredible journey
from Bristol via Bournemouth, Lisbon, Portugal and Morocco.
She searched for a pollution-free, undeveloped beauty spot
where the only other tourists are also wearing feathers.

Good evening, Prilluan with the latest news. Egypt is tonight leading the Arab world's defence of
Saudi Arabia. Troops have been ordered to the desert kingdom, others from Syria and Morocco
could soon follow. There they'll join what's soon expected to be a force of 100,000 Americans.
A small advanced party of Egyptian troops has flown to Saudi Arabia. Egypt will dispatch
thousands more to help defend King Fahd's kingdom against the Iraqi attack. But there's much
disagreement among Arab leaders about the multinational Arab force. President Ben-Jadeed
of Algeria has reservations. Libya's Colonel Karachi is outright opposed. Syria's President
Assad is in favour. They are starting to send some group for reconnaissance and the Arab countries
have already taken the decision in the summit to help our friends with Arab forces and we are going
to do it. Syria is also going to be making more forces. The countries which have promised troops
to defend the Gulf, Morocco, Egypt and Syria are all big powers in the Arab world but have little
history of military cooperation. Morocco's army of about 200,000 has extensive experience fighting
Palosario guerrillas in the western Sahara since the mid-70s. The Egyptian forces, about 450,000
strong, haven't had combat experience since the war against Israel in 1973. The 400,000 strong
Syrian forces have the most active service experience. They've been serving in Lebanon
for 13 years. Here there's growing opposition to the Prime Minister's decision to dispatch Australian
warships to the Gulf. The 600 Australians destined to join the American assembled Amada in the Gulf
set sail early tomorrow. Farewell personally by the Prime Minister, although his decision to deploy
them in the Middle East is drawing increasing fire. We should be more strong and express a point of
view which has got much more balance because it is a balanced decision of the United States
and it's a decision of confrontation and we should be struggling for peace, not for confrontation.
Tommy Wren says the decision is snivelly and in that he's backed all the way by prominent ALP
left winger George Crawford. It would be just simply a matter of trying to put some respectability on
America's, the United States position there. They always like us there as their part and I don't
mind. Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Gareth Evans says the Americans have nothing to do with
our decision. He says it's in Australia's own interest to be there. Australia's corporate watchdog
is imposing stringent new guidelines for the operation of unlisted property trusts. The
National Companies and Securities Commission is aiming to prevent any repetition of the panic
redemptions which last month destabilized the trust sector. Property trusts unwittingly became
involved in the financial run which began in Victoria and saw the pyramid building society
and estate mortgage collapse. Fund managers such as Heiner and Ostwide with combined funds under
management of around 1.6 billion dollars were forced to suspend redemptions after runs left
their liquidity strained to breaking point. The new rules for the trusts drafted by the industry
and the National Companies and Securities Commission are designed to stop those runs recurring.
That I would describe the new regulations has been fundamentally sound based on experience and a lot
of effort is going into constructing them. Trust managers will now have up to six months to pay out
redemption requests giving valuable breathing space to raise liquidity if needed. Redemptions can be
paid in a shorter time as long as liquidity remains above 15 percent. Any breach of the liquidity
limit will mean an immediate suspension of all redemptions to protect other investors.
Properties owned by trusts must now be revalued every year instead of the current 18 month limit
to reflect a more accurate market value and trust managers themselves are in for closer scrutiny.
It was the biggest ever get-together of Australian athletes the 20th annual running of the nation's
premier road race the Sydney city to surf. 44 000 people took part but there were three deaths
and 24 were hospitalized. Victorian Steve Monaginty reached the Bondi finish line first
his third consecutive win but as ever it was a race among unequals attracting a vast field of
the beautiful and the bizarre who put the fun into the run. From early morning they massed in the
streets surrounding the starting line for elite runners a major event on their professional calendar
for those who become stragglers a day out. Oh yeah it's a race can.
And we're off in the 1990 Sunherald city.
