H5 bird flu found in Britain. Concern for Windsor's swans this morning as H5 bird flu is found in a dead swan on mainland Britain. The swan was found in Scotland, leading to a halting of the week long exercise to see how the services would respond to an avain flu outbreak. We now have the real thing to worry about. So far 105 people have died from Avain Flu around the world, but thankfully so far, the disease is not transfering to humans except thru close contact with infected birds. Our thoughts go out to Tim Heron and the Swan Rescue Team.
