​University's peregrine falcon chick dies from bird flu

7 hours ago

A peregrine falcon fledging in Glasgow has died after contracting bird flu.

The young falcon, named after the character Jack from the TV comedy Still Game, hatched on the rooftop of the University of Glasgow tower in April alongside his sibling Victor.

He took unwell at the start of the week, when volunteers at the Glasgow Peregrine Project observed him acting subdued and not eating.

Throughout Monday night (9th June) and all day Tuesday the Peregrine Project team have been monitoring Jack on the cameras and in person at the University. He was very subdued on Monday but concerningly, his condition had deteriorated on Tuesday. Clyde, the adult male, had been trying to feed him but he was not responding and it is with sadness that we must report that after pulling out all the stops and effecting a rescue today (11th June), Jack has passed away.

The UoG and all the Project team had monitored him through the night (Tues into Wed) and worked throughout Wednesday to put a rescue plan in place. Work that would ordinarily be done in a month was done in a day to expedite Jack’s care.

The SSPCA assessed Jack and deemed that he had likely contracted Bird Flu and sadly, had to put him down to ease his suffering.

At this point both parents and Victor (34R) appear to be healthy.​

Scotland: East Lothian seabird centre issues warning after 'saddening' avian flu breakout

Sun, 5 October 2025

An East Lothian seabird centre has issued advice for locals after a breakout of avian flu.

The Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick said they were 'saddened' to see guillemots had washed up either sick or dead. They said avian flu had been detected in 'many' of the animals.

Residents were advised not to pick up or touch an injured bird, keep dogs on leads and away from any birds, and report them to SSPCA or DEFRA.
​
Posting online, the Scottish Seabird Centre said: "We've been saddened to see some guillemots washing up sick/dead along the shore this week. Unfortunately, avian flu has been detected in many of these birds.

"If you find a dead, sick or injured bird do not touch it or pick it up. Keep dogs on leads and away from birds, report it to SSPCA if it is sick or injured (03000 999 999), report it to DEFRA if it is dead."

Last summer, Scottish seabirds saw a "catastrophic" decline in numbers due to bird flu, a study has found. The RSPB found two species - northern gannets and great skuas - had suffered full reverses amid the avian influenza epidemic.

UK - Bird flu confirmed after swan deaths reported in Northamptonshire

Avian flu has been confirmed in six wild birds in Northamptonshire, according to government data.
Figures issued by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) show four mute swans were found with the H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu, in Wellingborough. It was also detected in two Canada geese in the north of the county.
The news follows reports on social media that the bodies of more than a dozen swans had been seen on the Embankment in the town over the weekend.
MK Swan Rescue, a charity that promotes the welfare of waterfowl, said it was aware of the bird flu cases and described them as "heartbreaking".

Bird flu is caused by a virus that infects birds and sometimes other animals, including foxes, seals and otters.
In a post on Facebook, MK Swan Rescue called on members of the public to not touch or move sick or dead birds and to instead report them to the local council.
It said: "If you keep pet birds, chickens, ducks or other domestic poultry, take extra care after visiting areas with wild birds.
"Wildlife rescues are not able to take in birds showing symptoms of bird flu.
"This is to protect other birds already in care and to prevent a Defra-ordered cull should infection spread within a facility."

Case of avian flu confirmed at Thrybergh Country Park

Council_news__1_.png

A case of avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has been confirmed in a wild bird at Thrybergh Country Park.

While the risk to humans remains low, the Council is advising walkers to take care when walking near open bodies of water and to pay attention to information signs displayed at the park.

If you do find a dead bird in a park or public space, you should not touch or move the body.

Report it immediately to Rotherham Council by emailing Thrybergh.CountryPark@rotherham.gov.uk or by calling the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs helpline on 0345 933 5577.

Bird keepers are also asked to remain vigilant and to report any concerns of avian flu to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), even if the signs are mild.

Avian influenza is a potentially fatal virus for wild, poultry, game and captive birds, with symptoms including:
  • Swollen head
  • Closed and runny eyes
  • Lethargy and depression
  • Breathing difficulties such as gaping (mouth breathing), nasal snicking (coughing sound), sneezing, gurgling or rattling
  • Fever or noticeable increase in body temperature
  • Discoloured or loose watery droppings
  • Stop or significant drop in egg production
  • A sudden death without any evidence of ill health or natural causes
Some species such as ducks, geese and swans can carry the avian influenza virus and spread it without showing any signs of illness.

All of England is currently in an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone - which means there are mandatory biosecurity measures in place for captive birds and poultry.

If you suspect bird flu in poultry or other captive birds, you must report it immediately by calling the APHA on 03000 200 301. Failure to do is breaking the law.

England - Yorkshire
Housing order as avian flu outbreak grips the county

​2nd Nov 2025
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ordered poultry farmers across a high-risk zone extending from the Scottish and Welsh borders to East Anglia to bring their flocks indoors in a mandatory housing order to contain the fast-spreading infectious disease.

The order, which means keepers must also keep feed and bedding inside, and to cleanse and disinfect clothing, footwear, equipment, vehicles before and after contact with poultry or captive birds, will be in place until further notice.

The move came just a few days after officials confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 in a large commercial poultry premises north-west of Bedale, near Hackforth.
-snip-
Although the UK appears to be the hardest hit European country, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland and Denmark have confirmed outbreaks at commercial poultry farms.

Experts say the risk of bird flu outbreaks could further increase across Europe, following an increase in cases of migrating cranes in Germany being "particularly affected by the disease for the first time," according to the Friedrich Loefller Institute.
