Not good news. Very difficult to contain.  Heavy cull on crows and jackdaws to start with but even sparrows and starlings can carry it I understand.

some of the reports I have seen say its being spread by wildfowl, lots of reports from up and down the country of Swans dying from bird flu.

I saw the report on swans not being well, so it is confirmed as bird flu with them as well is it?   Field full of Christmas geese just down the road from me, free range. They do them every year. Big worry for them then.

don't think this is far from you?...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-55043486

Bird flu H5N6 virus recently found in humans in China (they can keep that one) and the other one we don't want from China is this one found in pigs...https://news.sky.com/story/new-swine-flu-found-in-pigs-in-china-with-human-pandemic-potential-12017782

So, NOT by ingesting lead then  ??

Maybe we should ban Wildfowl from overwintering here  ?

Oddly down the canal near me I’ve found a few dead swans in the last couple of weeks, never thought anything of it but now wonder if bird flu could be the cause. I can’t remember ever coming across a dead swan let alone 3 in as many weeks. As a side note the dog rolled in a very ripe one and I have never smelt anything like it.
