Holidaymakers heading to the coast have been warned to stay away from the bodies amid fears of an avian flu outbreak.
A travel warning has been put in place after hundreds of birds were found found dead on a popular Scottish beach.
There have been a number of mass bird deaths throughout Scotland in recent months, but the deaths in Aberdeenshire are among the worst, Aberdeen Live reports. The strain H5N8 was found to have infected a small number of people for the first time, in Russia, in February 2021. It is the most recent strain of bird flu to concern scientists.
"The council has finite resources, but we will look to remove large concentrations of birds from popular areas of highest footfall. People should be aware, however, that there will inevitably be more birds washed ashore with each tide so beaches may not be cleared entirely.
