A Canary In The Coal Mine?
Well, actually a swan in the wild. It was found dead of avian flu, in Scotland.
A spokesman for the Scottish Executive said that if H5N1 was confirmed, ministers would have to make an immediate decision on whether all farm birds across the United Kingdom would be brought indoors.
A decision would also be made on whether restrictions would be imposed on the movement of goods from poultry to eggs.
Not good news for the UK, or the world.

Where they can pass the virus around even more efficiently.
