Have you seen these updates?

No - only yesterday I was wondering what had happened to bird flu -
I've heard nothing for ages.

So far so good -- but we are not out of the woods yet
Lots of testing going to be done on thousands of migratory waterfowl all

Keep your fingers crossed that they find nothing
The strain that was in the Baltic was rather a quiet one so until any
infected birds meet any chickens
