Full story: Dozens of Dead Swans in London Docklands Trigger Bird Flu Investigation on Outbreak News Today.
Authorities are currently investigating a mass die-off of swans in London's Docklands following the discovery of at least 30 carcasses near Canary Wharf. Witnesses described the birds collapsing suddenly, leading experts to suspect a localized outbreak of avian influenza. In response, the Canal & River Trust has hired specialists to remove the remains while Defra conducts diagnostic testing to confirm the cause of death. Local wildlife hospitals have implemented strict biosafety protocols, such as treating new arrivals outdoors, to prevent further transmission. While the official results are pending, health officials are urging the public to avoid touching any sick or dead wildlife and to report sightings to the government. Although the risk to humans remains low, residents are advised to maintain rigorous hygiene after visiting the affected waterways.
