Norwegians have been left puzzled at the sight of thousands of dead herring carpeting a beach in the northerly district of Nordreisa with some wondering if a predator had driven them to their death or a storm had washed them ashore.The picture is pretty gross. The article also mentions a bunch of dead blackbirds in Arkansas, but I think that story might have been from last year.
Scientists were hoping to test the fish to see if they could ascertain the cause of death. Locals had more pressing concerns: how to clean up the 20 tonnes of dead creatures before they decay.
Update: My sister let me know that a bunch of blackbirds did die for the second straight year.
