Huntingdonshire District Council have been notified by Animal and Plant Health Agency of confirmed avian influenza in the wild bird population in Huntingdonshire, and as you all have links to our valued river, we felt you should know. There is a very low risk to public health. However, official advice is not to touch anything if you find dead or injured wild birds - if you do make contact, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Guidance and additional information is available on our website at www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/birdflu

Please report any that you find on the Council's sites to Huntingdonshire District Council Customer Service team on 01480 388640.

If you find dead birds in other locations please contact the DEFRA helpline 03459 33 55 77 or visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu#wild-birds-in-the-uk
