75 Starlings Commit Suicide In Somerset
IN Croxley, Somerset, 75 starlings have fallen from the sky. Dead. The birds are on a driveway.

And the BBC delivers one of the greatest lines ever recorded in the media. We give you:
Animal welfare officer Alison Sparkes, who was called by police, said: “It was a remarkable sight, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
There is no evidence the birds were ill or poisoned before they hit the ground.
