A suspected bird flu case has been found in Co Down.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has introduced disease control measures following initial confirmation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 in samples collected from captive birds at Castle Espie, Strangford Lough.
As a precautionary measure, following initial laboratory results, a 3km disease control restriction zone has been put in place around the infected premises.
