Has there been a major fireworks event in the area recently?

Looks like a poisoning to me?

Have they been killed elsewhere and dumped?

In the article it states ""It's as if they just dropped down dead from the sky.My partner spotted it when she was on the way to the doctors yesterday late afternoon.She said she saw hundreds of them flying over and thought it looked amazing but on her way back around an hour later they were all dead in the road."

Seems as weird as the recent Pied Wagtail incident in Coventry.

Could they have flown into overhead services wires running alongside the road?

Im wondering if a low flying jet from the RAF Valley could have had something to do with it.
