Two deceased animals found at Waterworks Park have tested positive for bird flu.

While the park remains open, I would encourage everyone to take extra care & follow the guidance.

You should not touch sick or dead birds or animals, keep pets away from them, avoid contaminated surfaces or untreated feathers & maintain good hygiene through regular handwashing & sanitiser.
