Sad Sad Confused I have a certain feeling of inevitability which has been around for a while now.
I also think that the migratory birds have probably been dying from it for more than this year, it's only now they are being tested.

they have tested thousands of birds in the last few months, none have been on the news
as far as I am aware it takes 24 hours to tell if its H5 a few more days to tell if it's N1

this bird was found on friday, Confused
