Yes there were test runs in various parts of England, as soon as the dead swan was found they cancelled the test run.

yes webmonkey looking on the map i think it is only about 30 miles away. Dundee the town I live in is considered a risk area now.

I'm in Asia and it's the region with high risk. So? Don't touch the birds directly.

Sucks to hear about this.. We are in Asia and it's really scary just to think of the migrating birds from nearby countries

....reassure yourself in the knowledge that in the last decade, the total number of deaths attributed to avian flu - in the world - is just 100.
