I don't think I've ever seen so many.

Lots of dead seagulls out and about on the roads, and in my garden there's been 3 dead birds in the garden this summer already, a sparrow, some kind of tit and a ****ing massive woodpecker - never even seen one of those previously - and it almost landed on the mrs as it just dropped dead out of the sky.

What's going on here then?

Bird flu?
5G mobile masts cooking their brains?
A portent of the forthcoming Armageddon?

There are crows and magpies around that chase the smaller birds but I don't think any of these were down to that
