Horrified locals have reported dead seals being washed up on East Lothian beaches as experts confirm a possible link with avian flu.
This comes as locals visiting Thorntonloch beach in Dunbar spotted a number of dead seals washed up on the shore. One resident said it was 'unusual' to see so many all at once, and counted four across the beach as she was walking her dogs on Sunday, December 4, at 10am.
According to new research, seals are sadly susceptible to avian flu which is tearing through bird colonies across the UK.
