Seabirds living off the coast of the UK have been “devastated” by a deadly outbreak of bird flu and climate change, according to the findings of a 50-year study.
The Government has said the UK has been dealing with its largest and longest ever outbreak of bird flu since October 2021 and millions of birds have been killed by the disease or culled.
Wild birds migrating to the UK, from northern Russia and eastern Europe over the winter months in search of warmer weather, have been spreading H5N1, which does not spread to humans easily and poses a low risk to poultry products, including eggs. Earlier this month, The National Trust revealed that more than 7,000 seabirds have died from bird flu at precious colonies across the UK this year.
Signifcant numbers of dead birds were found on the Pembrokeshire coast, Long Nanny in Northumberland, Cemlyn in north Wales and Brownsea in Dorset, as well as the east and north coasts of Northern Ireland.
