Six swans have been found dead so far.
The bodies of six dead swans have been recovered from a Glasgow park as the city council confirms cases are being treated as avian flu.
Acting on advice from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Glasgow City Council is using an approved contractor to dispose of the bodies and asks members of the public to report any further incidents. A spokesman for GCC said: “We have received reports of six dead swans at Hogganfield Park and, in line with advice from DEFRA, we are assuming the birds have died from avian flu.
“We are monitoring our parks regularly but members of the public are advised to avoid any contact with a dead bird or any bird that appears to be visibly sick. If anyone encounters a dead or sick bird they should report this to our environmental health team through our website or by calling 0141 287 1059.”
