2:30Now PlayingWildlife organisations are warning it's a race against time to clear debris from Britain's beaches, which is thought to have come from the ship collision in the North Sea.
The coastguard says an operation is underway to help remove the pellets, called nurdles, that were spilled from containers on board a ship that collided with a tanker off the coast of Grimsby.
Sky’s science correspondent Thomas Moore went to Norfolk and spoke to Jim Scott, the operations manager at Titchwell Marsh RSPB reserve, who says birds are likely to mistake the 'nurdles' for fish eggs.
