Bin bags of dead pheasants dumped on Isle of Wight lane

The grim discovery was made by Martin Jackson, as he passed by earlier today (Friday, January 6)

He said: "Not a particularly pleasant sight on my lunch time walk! Who does things like this?"

The dead birds were dumped on St George’s Lane, at its junction with the bridleway, between Shide Quarry and Newport Golf Club.

It is too early to know how the pheasants died.
