Herring mystery

[goosey]

Thousands of herring were stranded on a Norwegian beach on the 4th January 2012.
It is still a mystery how they came to be there, the thought is either the power of the gales washed them up or the huge school were hunted and pannicked by dolphins and they jumped on to the beach trying to escape them.
Another problem was how to clear up 20 tonnes of fish before they started to stink!

Maybe leave them there - the gulls etc will clear them up.

You know what would happen then - you wuld have a beach full of seabirds stuffed so full, pigged out on herring they wouldn't be able to take off.
