| Denmark has confirmed it's first case of H5N1 this week. They are saying though they have investigated 39 other suspected outbreaks in the Uk, all of which returned a negative result for avian flu. Keep your fingers crossed guys! |

OK - we can breathe again!
Preliminary tests taken after dozens of dead chickens were discovered on a farm in Orkney have proved negative for bird flu, it has been confirmed.

Although it could be the lull before the storm. |
