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,  |
