[QUOTE="llamedos, post: 3344808, member: 162"] I understand the outbreak at the swannery in Dorset they have had 80 birds die, normal figures would be around 30, nine of the dead which have been tested have proven positive. This being the highest + result so far. So far, since the last 2 weeks of December 2016 there have been 10 official cases involving 29 birds testing positive. At the end of December [2016] there were cases in Carmarthenshire, Leicestershire and Somerset involving one wigeon each. A wigeon is a type of dabbling duck. The Leicestershire and Somerset cases were the 1st involving wild birds in England. Wild birds can carry the disease around the country and infect others. A total of 5 wigeons were found to have died of bird flu in Lincolnshire in the last week of 2016. A further case involving a "small backyard flock" near Settle in North Yorkshire saw 17 birds affected, "several" of which had died from the disease. Communicated by pro-med [/QUOTE]
