I'm starting to read more reports of avian flu outbreaks, and was thinking it might be a wise idea for us to share any reports we come across to help those new and still learning about our wonderful wildlife.
A link from the .GOV.UK pages to peruse: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu
Avian flu case confirmed in swan on Solway Coast
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-59348076
Plus one I posted a while back
More cases of bird flu confirmed in Wales, this time at nature reserve
https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/more-cases-bird-flu-confirmed-22149317
If it's felt a bad idea, I'll can it here and now.

This is now getting nearer to home!
Though it wouldn't surprise me if we do have the avian flu here already, its just not been reported, yet.....

Iv sent the donate link in case anyone wants to donate on this forum as well as sending reports about the Bird flu on the forum. This way Even if or when they dont get or find any news or reports they can still help by donateing if they want to. so I thought this would be helpful for the forum. It does lead to the RSPB website where you can acsess information about the Bird flu and it has news aswell as the option to donate to help control the outbreak www.rspb.org.uk/.../
