'Truly devastated': Suspected bird flu in Newport swans
A charity has revealed that some swans on the Newport Canal "may be showing signs" of bird flu.
Cuan Wildlife Rescue, based in Much Wenlock, has said it is "truly devastated" after hearing that a group of mute swans "may be showing signs of avian influenza".
A spokesperson for the organisation said: "Cuan is truly devastated to hear that they may be showing signs of avian influenza.
"Please know that we care deeply, and it pains us not to be able to do more. Due to strict legal and biosecurity measures, however, our ability to intervene is sadly very limited."
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and the Animal and Plant Health Agency have been approached for comment.
