Bird flu warning at Hogganfield Loch as Glasgow City Council remove multiple dead swans from park

The bodies of 12 dead swans have been recovered from a Glasgow park as the city council confirms cases are being treated as avian flu.

Hogganfield Loch is a popular destination for dog walkers and east end residents, now warned to stay away from dead or ailing birds while the situation is dealt with. While the original body count was six of the animals, by the end of today (November 15) 12 dead swans had been found.

Acting on advice from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Glasgow City Council is using an approved contractor to dispose of the bodies and asks members of the public to report any further incidents.
