More than 300 dead birds found on beach after avian flu outbreak  in north-east Scotland.


More than 300 dead birds have been recovered from a beach after avian flu was found at a farm in north-east Scotland.

Aberdeenshire Council said it had taken 330 birds from Stonehaven beach.

It came as restrictions were put in place around Inchdrewer Farm near Banff on Sunday after the disease was discovered in its flock.

Movement restrictions on poultry, carcasses, eggs and manure are in place to prevent spread of the disease.
