      2 April 2021: Avian influenza H5N8 was confirmed in two captive peregrine falcons at a private residential premises (non-commercial, non-poultry premises) near Skelmersdale, West Lancashire on 31 March 2021. Further testing has confirmed this to be a highly pathogenic strain and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N8) was confirmed on 2 April 2021.
