I saw a pigeon sneezing and 3 sparrows with snotty beaks this morning when I was out getting my morning paper--do you think bird flu has reached Liverpool ???

I heard tonight, from a farmer in the pub,that if there is a declared area for infected birds, any access to fishing in the declared area will cease.
Not read the report,but,has anybody else heard a similar story?

Amazing though that every paper and tv and radio station have sent reporters hotfoot to the area.

I don't believe this disease can be readily spread by human movement but surely a responsible attitude in the early stages would be "don't go there unless you have to!"

Didn't it take DEFRA 7 days to pick up dead swan...??? TV News had a pic of another dead one which RSPB had reported five days ago.

FM members may recall my post on the forums about bird flu a few weeks ago. At the time I did say I was awaiting instructions on just what we, as anglers, could do from one of the government laboratories. I had e-mailed them at a publicly advertised address. This is about 3 weeks ago now. Guess what? I still have had no reply at all. So it doesn't surprise me that it took them 8 days to actually pick up a dead and, at the time suspected bird flu case, swan.

I honestly do not think DEFRA has the situation in hand. Up in the quarantine zone in Fife it has been left to individual poulty farmers to impose there own 'off limits' zones. I would have thought that the first thing DEFRA would have done is to impose proper, legal exclusion zones around commercial fowl industries.
