Beware ‘dead birds on beaches’

[BeeBee]

We are currently travelling in the Nth East of Scotland with our dog. We have encountered so many dead birds that are not being picked up that it is making for a genuine ‘health hazard’ on these beaches. Worth noting if like ours your dog is drawn to these, indeed if you have children on the beaches too.

Yes, recently saw a feature on TV regading the number of dead birds on the Farne Islands due to bird flu. Staggering numbers!

The dead birds have probably died of avian flu which is a health hazard to humans and dogs. They should be reported to DEFRA who will collect them but there is a massive outbreak so they are a bit behind.
