Highly contagious bird flu outbreak has wildlife centers scrambling to isolate birds

On Coquet Island, off Northumberland, the number of birds dying from bird flu is increasing “dramatically”. Most years it will see around 5000 pairs of a species of bird but this breeding season there’s only four. The RSPB has said “hundreds of chicks and hundreds of others” have been lost to the virus on this island alone. #birdflu #birds #rspb #avianflu #channel4news | Channel 4 News
