An extremely unusual event took place late last night in Pembrokeshire, as dead birds appeared to fall from the sky near Waterston.
Several drivers in the area noticed dozens of birds falling from the sky between Waterston and Hazelbeach. Michaela Pritchard who took photos at the scene described it as resembling a "massacre".
Pembrokeshire County Council was called, and staff attended, removing the birds from the road, while more birds continued to fall from the sky.
There is no explanation for what might have caused the event.
Some initial speculation has been a leak at the nearby Dragon LNG plant, despite security staff there saying otherwise, while another theory was that the birds were electrocuted.
Pembrokeshire County Council has been contacted for a comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
