A huge number of sprats have been stranded on Benar Beach in Gwynedd, although wildlife experts aren't concerned as it is a fairly normal event.

Fisherman Aeron Griffith, who made the discovery, said: "I went out to collect some bait for fishing with a friend, we went down the beach and realised all these fish had obviously got stuck in a pool. As the tide has gone out it's left very little water in the pool, and with that many millions of them were starved of oxygen.

"I knew what it was straight away as I saw thousands of seagulls which had been feeding on them, but didn't realise how many fish there were until we got down there, it happens every year, but never seen on that scale, there was literally millions and millions of them."
