    Bird flu has been confirmed at a popular northwest wetland centre as cases of the avian disease spread across the country. The disease was detected in a single Greylag Goose late on Friday, 3 February at the Martin Mere Wetland Centre in Burscough.

    The centre has confirmed that it will be open as usual and that no cull or lockdown will be put in place. Peter Morris, spokesman for Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust said: “This is not a strain of bird flu that has ever transmitted to humans. “It has spread across Britain from Europe, we’re simply detecting it as it passes through wild birds in the North West.

    This isn’t a case of anyone closing or culling anything. “We’re not actually seeing unusual numbers of wild bird deaths at this time of year, just a handful among tens of thousands of birds you can still see at Martin Mere. So it’s largely business as usual for visitors and we are open every day as always." Bosses at Martin Mere have taken preventative measures at the centre to ensure that the disease does not inadvertently spread to neighbouring bird farms.

    This has included placing disinfectant mats at all entrances and exits, restricting vehicle movements on and off the reserve and taking all practical steps to separate wild birds from their collection of captive wildfowl.
