Warnings have been issued after a dead buzzard tested positive for bird flu. The bird of prey was found in Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire, and tests later confirmed it had H5N1 Avian Influenza. The Animal and Plant Health Agency has been informed and signs have been put up near the River Till to warn dog walkers. Wiltshire Council leader Ian Thorn said: "While the risk to the public remains low, the virus can affect mammals, including dogs. We urge pet owners to remain vigilant, especially near water sources and popular walking routes, such as along the River Till."
