Hundreds of Dead Birds in North Iceland
According to Róbert Á. Stefánsson at the Natural Institute of West Iceland, even seagulls have been hungry this winter.
Hundreds of dead guillemots were recently found by farmer Gunnar Óli Hákonarsson at Sandur in Aðaldalur, North Iceland, Iceland Review reports.
The birds, which were found on a beach east of the mouth of Skjálfandafljót river, are believed to have died from starvation due to bad weather in December. Foxes and ravens have been scavenging on the bird carcasses.
