It comes as the UK is facing its largest ever outbreak of avian flu
People have been asked to avoid Findhorn Bay in Moray after 22 pink-footed geese and an “unusual” number of gulls were found dead of suspected bird flu.
Alastair MacGugan, NatureScot’s Wildlife Management Manager, said: “We are very concerned about the impact of avian flu on our wild bird populations, particularly with these latest suspected cases in Moray. It’s crucial we respond to the evolving situation quickly to reduce the chances of the disease spreading further and faster in Scotland.
