Avian Influenza

Defra has confirmed a number of cases of avian influenza (bird flu) in the wild bird population of Huntingdonshire, centred on the River Ouse.

Bird flu is primarily a disease of birds and the risk to the general public’s health is very low.

If you are visiting our open spaces, please consider:

Keeping to footpaths

Keeping dogs on leads

Do not feed wild waterfowl

Do not pick up or touch dead or sick wild birds

Do not touch wild bird feathers or surfaces contaminated with wild bird droppings
