Government says risk to public low
Bird flu has been detected in dead seabirds which were found on beaches on the Isle of Man.
They tested positive for the same strain of Avian Influenza which caused a recent outbreak in Scotland.
Government says the risk to the general public is low, but people are being asked to not touch, and keep dogs away from, sick or dead birds.
Fishermen, leisure swimmers, kayakers and other water users are being asked to keep a respectful distance from all wild birds where possible.
Bird keepers are also urged to practice good biosecurity and try to keep their birds away from wild birds.
