Seabird deaths hit the Welsh coast
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales says one of the stormiest winters on record is seeing dead birds washing ashore on many of our beaches.
Public urged to report dead seabirds after storms
Skomer Wardens Ed Stubbings and Bee Büche visited Newgale beach in Pembrokeshire on February 23.
“We found around sixty dead seabirds, almost half were razorbills” said Ed.
“Like wrecks of birds recorded elsewhere on the coast, many were clearly malnourished, and had suffered badly in the stormy conditions”.
"If anyone finds dead birds on the beach please look for metal rings and report the numbers to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO)".
