Scientists have issued a warning as a new outbreak of a potentially lethal virus is spreading in species across the UK. They revealed that otters, foxes, dolphins and seals in the UK now face a threat from bird flu, reports the Mirror.
This comes only one day after bird flu restrictions were lifted and free-range eggs returned to supermarket shelves. Since November, bird keepers have been told to house flocks indoors and away from wildlife to reduce the threat of the virus spreading.
Some supermarkets have limited the number of boxes customers can buy, due to shortages. Increased energy bills and rising costs of chicken feed, hens and packaging, have led to producers cutting back on output.
