A plea has been issued to the public to follow strict regulations to contain the spread of a highly pathogenic variant of avian flu at one of Northumberland's best-known tourist destinations.
A case of the H5N1 variant of the virus - a variant of concern - was confirmed at a poultry farm on Holy Island on Wednesday, and government regulations have been introduced to stop the spread.
The virus was found in a flock of 260 chickens, ducks, and geese.
