Dead Birds Discovered at Clowes Park

Horror has been mounting after multiple birds, including geese and ducks, have been spotted dead in a popular Salford park.

Locals reported seeing more than half a dozen dead geese around Clowes Park, in Broughton, this morning (July 26). Eyewitnesses also suggested that a number of geese within the park appear 'quite lethargic'.

Eyewitness Accounts

One person told the M.E.N they counted at least six dead geese and three ducks in and around the water, as well as a dead magpie. They said: 'I have seen a few geese that do not [look] in great form that are still alive, they seem quite lethargic. It's not good.'
