Countryfile talking about bird flu this evening
Countryfile has been talking about Bird Flu this evening and how poultry are affected by infection from wild birds. Also there have been a number of Wildfowl dying from Bird Flu at RSPB reserve Frampton Marsh. Do you think that during this outbreak of bird flu, RSPB reserves should be closed to members and the public as a precaution of spreading the disease to other birds. I'm unsure about that myself. I'm just thinking maybe the RSPB should consider doing that, just as RSPB reserves where closed to everyone during the last foot and mouth disease outbreak.
