This is what I learned about the horrors of bird flu."Often, sick #birds gathered together in particular areas. On Brownsman, which is one of the outer group of islands, the sick #kittiwakes would take themselves away from other birds and gather around a specific pond. All the birds sitting around that pond were dying" #avianflu

UK may ban sandeel fishing in move to save threatened seabirds, especially puffins and kittiwakes.
The tiny fish are not even caught to be eaten by humans. Disgracefully, they are harvested to be made into feed for farmed salmon and livestock.
