Avian (or Bird) Flu
Important Information
Many of you will have already seen the news or read about Avian or Bird Flu, or indeed seen evidence whilst out on a beach or walking your dog with the family.
Whilst it is very sad to see dead birds washing up on the beach it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow the official guidelines and DO NOT go near a dead bird, pick it up, move it, or let children or a dog handle the dead bird.
The best thing to do is to read the Scottish Government's guidance online and notify the relevant authority using the following phone number:
