I got an email from BASC yesterday to say that this is now upon us, the details of which are here.

We have now stopped all shooting on our chicken perm and keeping our distance. Some recommendations for reared birds are listed in the email which may be of interest and a map showing the areas worst sffected.

Avian flu keeps popping around the country on intensive farms. Especially  after migratory birds pass over.

At least you can't catch it when it cooked

It’s been rife for weeks, as I am a registered poultry keeper I get regular updates from apha and I’ve been getting confirmed cases for at least a month now

Pfffft, what's the worst that could happen!

Avian flu has been found at Slimbridge wildfowl and wetlands trust . Migrating birds have brought it in and some have died . There might need to be a cull . 
                  I will volunteer my services, I’ve always wanted to be let loose in there with a shotgun.
