More birds to be tested for bird flu

Six carcasses have been found on Ballaugh Beach

Six dead birds found at Ballaugh Beach are being checked for bird flu.

It's after more than 20 carcasses collected by government vets at Fenella Beach in Peel earlier this month tested positive for Avian Influenza.

Government says the risk to the general public is low, but people are being asked to not touch any dead birds and to keep dogs away from them.
