    So basically it’s not about saving the environment it’s about greed and making money.

    Not much chance of herd immunity with 90 to 100 mortality in many bird species

    Is anyone actually picking on Wildfowlers ? As Cadman pointed out Martin Mere is closed to everyone, we must all try to do the responsible thing and not spread this disease, if we’re not careful and carry on regardless it won’t help anyone

    Signs of disease and treatment As with influenza virus in humans, different individuals/species may respond differ- ently to the virus. Water birds are known to act as reservoirs of the virus; they may carry the virus and show no signs of disease at all. Conversely, a raptor may come into contact with the same virus (most commonly through eating an infected bird) and death may be the result. Unfortunately the incubation period (time from contracting the virus to demonstrating signs of disease) can be as little as 24 hours (typically 24- 72hrs) and in birds of prey, they are affected so quickly that often the first sign of dis- ease is death. There is no specific treatment for avian influenza.

    Recently attended a talk with a top avian vet who said that ducks can show very mild or no symptoms but are often the main host for the virus. This is a link to the list of recorded infected wild birds https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1096834/AI-findings-2022-wk31_LF.csv/preview

    Totally agree, making comments like this on an open forum is not going to help your cause, I would have thought a committee member of any club should be above making threats to anyone that may not agree with their opinion and to put it in writing is unbelievable. We don't need to worry about the Rspb or anyone other anti shooting groups the sport is being destroyed by constant bickering from within. Just remember divided we fall ...
