Dog walkers and people who go to a very popular Leeds park have been asked to be vigilant and observe new guidance after a bird flu outbreak.
Bird flu has been detected at Roundhay Park, and is said to be affecting a lot of swans in the area, making contact between the birds and humans potentially dangerous. Avian flu, also known as bird flu, is an infectious type of influenza that spreads among birds.
The NHS states that the flu rarely affects humans but it can spread through close contact with an infected bird. It has been detected at Roundhay park a number of times, including in June this year when posters were put up asking visitors to be cautious.
