Amphibious boat brings Bond-style glamour to RSPB in Northumberland | Conservation

It seems that something might lead James Bond – or more accurately, Grills bear. But instead of enabling secret tasks or carrying millionaires, this innovative amphibious boat helps RSPB guards take care of the only British colony of Roseate Terns.

Live endangered birds on the island of Cookite off Nurutberland The coast is every spring, but the seasonal guards who manage the small island struggle in order to go out and stop it because there is no safe point or a port at the tide. This means that boats can not only take people to the island in the High Tide – often at uncomfortable times of the day or night – which makes life for the shame, who live in the beacon of the island, somewhat complicated.

The director of the RSPB region, David Morris, said that he and his colleagues “raise our brains for years” on how to get more easily to reach six hectares (15 acres) Al Jazeera Natural ReserveAnd it is just a mile off the coast.

The ship, which is built in New Zealand, is heading alongside the normal car boat at sea but as it approaches the ground, the pilot reduces the legs of hydraulic using hydraulic and leads to the beach on the wheels of chunky.

“There are very few Selegs in Europe,” Morris said. “This is the answer to all our problems – a way to get it out of the water, and keep it on the island and can safely carry more passengers to match the growing demand for the local population who want to volunteer with us.”

“When I heard about the need for a new boat to support the team’s work on Coquet Island to protect Roseate Terns, I was keen to help funding,” said Rosemary Warburg. “Like birds, I am known as Rosie, so it was my pleasure when I suggested that the boat be named before me. It seemed appropriate and I was looking forward to facing the name and team in Coquet.”

For the site manager, Stephen Westerberg, the boat is Gamechanger. “Last year, I was primarily a taxi service, the guards and volunteers on the island, then returning directly to Amble Port. Now I can stay on the island and help in all work.

“When the wheels go down, you feel that the boat hits the ground and the wheels begin to pull you and raise the engine slowly up and out.”

Rosie, the amphibian boat cuts a great impulse between open visitors and locals in Ambel Harbor. “We are a big scene at the present time because we are new. There is no boat in Ambel like him,” Wesrburg said. People say all the time: “Are you James Bond? “
