An outbreak of avian flu at a park in Oldham has been confirmed by officials after birds were found dead in the boating lake.
Oldham Council said a number of cases of bird flu had been identified at Alexandra Park, a popular park off Kings Road. The boating lake has been closed off 'until further notice'.
All activities on the lake have been banned, including fishing. Visitors have been warned not to feed any birds, or try to touch or rescue any birds that look sick or injured.
