A guillemot has been rescued at Saints Bay, covered in what appeared fresh oil, rescuers say.
The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) said the bird was "completely soaked" from head to toe and vets were unable to help it.
The society has asked islanders to be on
the look out for other birds that may be affected by oil as they said it was rare for
just one bird to found on the coast with such fresh oil.

Meanwhile, the GSPCA rescued the fourth grey seal pup of the year on Saturday.
The "very poorly pup" was spotted just
behind the pond on Route de Pulias, often called the Smelly Pond.
Sealia, as she has been named, was only four-weeks-old and was found
underweight, dehydrated with a number of injuries. She is now in an intensive
care area at the GSPCA.

Civil service strikes 'will hit services', States warns
BBC Radio Jersey
Hundreds of civil servants in Jersey are to strike again next week over a pay dispute, which could impact the ferry terminal, the airport, schools and health service.
The Unite union, which represents civil servants, said members were furious about the way they had been treated in negotiations over pay and conditions.
The States said it was disappointed at a union decision to strike on Monday and Tuesday next week.
Officials said they would make contingency plans to minimise disruption.
They added that, with a looming budget deficit, the States could not afford to increase that deficit - or to raise taxes - to pay for bigger pay rises for civil servants.
There is the chance on Monday evening and into the night of the odd patch of rain or drizzle with plenty of cloud for the most part. Breezy.
Minimum temperature: 7 to 10C (45 to 50F).
Moderate north to north-westerly winds on Tuesday, taking the edge off the temperature.
It will be dry though with areas of cloud and some bright or sunny intervals.
Minimum temperature: 7 to 10C (45 to 50F).

Call for cost benefit analysis of extending Guernsey Airport runway
BBC Radio Guernsey
A deputy who sits on the economic development committee wants a cost benefit analysis carried out on the pros and cons of extending the Guernsey Airport runway.
It comes after deputy Lyndon Trott told the States last month that the Policy and Resources committee is unanimously against spending any further money on looking at extending the landing strip.
Deputy Joe Mooney says more investigations should be carried out.

No-deal Brexit 'could affect Channel Island supplies'
BBC Radio Jersey
The leaders of four councils in the UK say any delays at Portsmouth harbour as a result of a no-deal Brexit will result in interruptions to the supply of food and medical supplies to the Channel Islands.
The leaders of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton councils have written to UK Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, asking for assurance that the UK government would put in place the support needed for Portsmouth International Port.
They said 90% of Channel Islands trade came via Portsmouth and would need support to minimise delays.
More bins 'would improve street safety'
BBC Radio Jersey
A group which looks after people who have had too much to drink in St Helier has called for more bins to be put near nightclubs to cut down on littering.
Street Pastors said they had picked up 18,000 glass bottles that have been left in the street in the past 10 years.
They collect them from the busy areas of town on Saturday nights so that they are not a danger to people.
They could potentially be usable as weapons or could cut the feet of women who had taken off high heels, volunteers said.
Quote Message: I don't think people are as careful about litter sometimes as they used to be. You do see people just throwing things down. It must be the alcohol factor that has got something to do with it." from Donna Vibert Street Pastor
