Measures introduced on the Calf of Man due to bird flu

Biosecurity measures have been introduced on the Calf of Man due to the recent outbreak of bird flu.

Manx National Heritage and Manx Wildlife Trust have been monitoring the situation and introduced measures after more than 50 dead sea birds tested positive for the virus last week.

Conservation and monitoring activities have been stopped and disinfectant mats have been installed at some locations on the Calf.

Shaun Murphey from Manx National Heritage says the situation is evolving and information will be reviewed and kept as up to date as possible.
