I didnt hear that France had bird flu at the begining of the year - did anyone else ?
New outbreak , near Calais now, a bit too close for comfort!
France has reported its first outbreak of the H5N8 virus, in a group of waterfowl kept on a private body of water, in the town of Marck in the Pas-de-Calais region. These 25 ducks, and another batch of 35 ducks that also visited the water body, will be destroyed as a precaution. Unless there is another outbreak in poultry, France will regain its status as free from avian influenza on 3 December following the series of outbreaks at the end of 2015 and early 2016.
