The National Trust shut Inner Farne for the rest of the season to try to help next year's seabirds.
By Fiona TrottMinisters have been urged by the National Trust to take urgent action on bird flu after more than 3,500 dead birds were found on the Farne Islands.
Ms Reid said: "For a species like the terns there are fewer of them to begin with anyway, so their loss this year is significant and is worrying. Inner Farne is a globally significant breeding site for the National Trust and at this time of year, would normally have up to 500 visitors a day.Latest figures from the conservation charity show bird flu is spreading across its seabird colonies., along with 40% of their chicks.There have also been fatalities in South Wales, Dorset and in Northern Ireland.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs said it shared concerns about the impact on seabirds and aimed to publish its plan on how to deal with them later this year.Image caption,Ranger Rosie Parson said the harsh reality of the disease had made the job harder.
