"HEARTBREAKING"

            BIRD FLU OUTBREAK DECIMATING BRITISH SEABIRD COLONIES, A DEADLY STRAIN OF AVIAN INFLUENZA IS SPREADING RAPIDLY in seabird populations around the UK, with reports of thousands of birds dying, at a time of the year they should be busy raising chicks.. 
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT IT
=======================
VIRAL infections spread quickly, death within 12 hours, spreads through direct contact with nasal discharge and feces of an infected bird, also it is believed can remain live in the seawater for hours.
RARELY affects humans.
DO NOT touch dead or sick birds.
REPORT to DEFRA helpline 03459335577
FARNE ISLANDS are stopping landings, others are to follow.
HAVE witnessed this even in our quiet area of Kent, so very sad.
VERY LITTLE is known !!!!!!
