2018-04-02 - Fish observed jumping out of the ocean onto land at beach on the Karikari Peninsula (New Zealand):
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12025210

Quote: "When walking on the beach you might expect to see a seal basking in the sun or some rubbish, but not hundreds of live fish jumping out of the water on to land. That's just what Ursula Hutchinson saw when she was on a walk with her father and her daughter on the Karikari Peninsula in Northland. 'Never in my life have I seen anything like it.' She caught the action on her smartphone on Tuesday which showed the fish, about the length of her size 8 shoe, flopping on the sand. After her discovery she and other onlookers got to work returning the fish to the water. But even as they put the fish back into the ocean, more seemed to jump back out, she said."

2018-04-10 - Unknown cause afflicting birds in coastal Perth (Australia):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20180411-62564-AUS

Quote: "Birds in Western Australia's Perth have been hit by a mystery illness affecting motor skills that continues to allude [sic] scientists, a media report said. Wildlife centres have received scores of birds suffering from paralysis which makes it difficult for them to stand or fly and leaves them less responsive, and weak in the legs and wings."

Note: Sounds like a neurological problem. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and it'd be most likely to afflict birds near bodies of water, as in this case...
