Public asked to avoid Scots beach as 22 geese found dead amid more bird flu fears

People have been asked to avoid Findhorn Bay in Moray after 22 pink-footed geese and an “unusual” number of gulls were found dead of suspected bird flu.
NatureScot is asking members of the public and goose shooters to stay away from the site as much as possible as it awaits test results to see if the deaths are due to the disease. The Scottish nature agency urged wildfowlers and recreational shooters not to shoot around the bay and surrounding feeding fields, and asked walkers and locals to also steer clear.
It comes as the UK is facing its largest ever outbreak of avian flu which has already killed tens of thousands of birds, with seabird populations particularly badly hit.
