Harrowing stories from the frontline of the fight against bird flu reveal how thousands of dead birds have washed up on Scots shores.
Harrowing stories about the impact of the bird flu epidemic in Scotland have been revealed in a shocking new documentary.
Susan Davis, boss of the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick, East Lothian, said: “We saw the most significant impact on the Bass Rock, the world’s largest northern gannet colony.“When avian flu hit initially we saw a lot of washed up birds along the coastline and that was really the first sign that the disease had hit the island.”
“And it’s all over the country, we’re talking about Scotland as a whole, not just the islands. “With the Western Isles anyway, we’ve not been suffering as much as Shetland and Orkney and places like that. He said: “That's about three and a half months of lost income from those birds. But we still have all the bills to pay.
