DEFRA has now brought its reporting of bird/poultry flu cases in wild birds more up to date with cases recorded in the week ending Sunday 6 December.
This shows three new counties; Gwent, Carmarthenshire and Yorkshire with bird flu cases in wild birds.
Any ornithologist would be fascinated to see Great Egret and Dabchick on the list.

“The great egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society and represents a conservation success story. The snowy white bird’s beautiful plumage made it far too popular in 19th-century North America. Great egrets were decimated by plume hunters who supplied purveyors of the latest ladies’ fashions.”
