Dead birds found last week test positive for bird flu

Dead birds found on Manx shores have tested positive for bird flu.

The government has confirmed more than 50 carcasses have been collected along the west coast since the first was discovered last week.

They have the same strain of the virus as the recent outbreaks in seabirds in Scotland.

No restriction zones or measures have been put in place and the risk to the public remains low.

You're asked not to touch any sick or dead  birds and report any suspected cases to Animal Health on 685844.
