The Doñana National Park, in southern Spain, has activated level 2 of the avian influenza protocol measure, after three outbreaks of possibly infected wild birds have been detected in the region in recent days, including several cases in the protected biological area itself.
The first outbreak was found in the town of Aznalcázar, in Seville, where an infected great crested grebe was found dead. Subsequently, two other possible outbreaks were identified in the municipality of Hinojos, in Huelva, where an affected grey heron and a red-crested pochard were found.
