BIRD flu has been detected at an Edinburgh farm sparking fears of an outbreak in the Capital.

Routine tests by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs found strains of the virus in some birds at the farm - believed to be Easter Norton Farm, in Newbridge.

The above comments suggest that bird flu has once again been detected in Great Britain. In the recent past, both H5N1 and H7 outbreaks have been reported, including H5N1 in Scotland.
