WARNING: Contains images some may find distressing. The public have been urged to keep away from dead or sick marine animals as numerous reports come in.
Dead seals which have washed up on beaches on the east coast of Scotland could be linked to avian flu, experts have said.
Seals have been found to be susceptible to avian flu which is tearing through bird colonies across the UK. A spokesperson from Scottish Wildlife Trust said: "It's saddening to hear that four seals have been found dead on Thorntonloch beach in Dunbar. We can't truly know the cause of seal mortality without a post-mortem; any seals, whales, dolphins, porpoises, marine turtles and basking sharks that wash ashore should be reported to the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme who conduct this research.
