'We feel more prepared': Farne Islands face another season battling avian flu
Hazmat suits have replaced tourists at the important UK sanctuary for breeding seabirds off coast of Northumberland.
Last month the trust announced a repeat of the closure, until August at least, after avian flu was detected in a handful of birds.
The fear is that there will be a repeat of last year's devastation which resulted in the removal of 6,000 bird carcasses. The true figure of bird deaths is unquestionably far higher given how many dead birds will have fallen into the sea.
Of the 6,000 carcasses removed last year most were guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins with 3,542, 818 and 467 dead birds collected respectively.
The avian flu crisis is a global one. The World Organisation for Animal Health (Woah) said there had been "an unprecedented number of outbreaks" of bird flu reported in regions across the world since the outbreak began in October 2021. Wild seabirds have been particularly hard hit.

Of the 6,000 carcasses removed last year most were guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins with 3,542, 818 and 467 dead birds collected respectively.
The avian flu crisis is a global one. The World Organisation for Animal Health (Woah) said there had been "an unprecedented number of outbreaks" of bird flu reported in regions across the world since the outbreak began in October 2021. Wild seabirds have been particularly hard hit.
