Catalog - Local - Hundreds of emaciated, dying and dead birds have been found on a Danish island

The Danish Ornithological Society said, on Monday, that within a week the bodies of nearly two hundred dead or dying seabirds were discovered on the western coast of the Danish island of Fano in the North Sea.
