St John's Point lighthouse is on the County Down coast, near the village of KilloughHundreds of migrating birds are believed to have died after becoming disorientated in fog over the Irish Sea.
Mr Murphy said although that would not have killed all of the birds, those plunging to the ground injured then fell prey to predators like foxes and stray cats. "If these birds had been able to land in bushes and trees they would have been safe from cats and foxes."The fieldfare, redwing, blackbird and song thrush birds were migrating from Scandinavian countries to spend the winter in the British Isles, he said.
"If ever someone brings you a bird, whatever it is, you'll realise how vulnerable it is and its life depends on how you care for it - every life matters."
Humans cause wildlife deaths once again. 😢🐥🐦🕊️🦅🦢🦆
