Visitors banned from 23 Scots islands in bid to stop spread of bird flu

In a bid to stop the spread of bird flu in Scotland, conservationists have banned visitors from 23 islands.

Public landings have been stopped on the islands until seabird chicks have fledged to give them the best possible chance to survive and recover from the current outbreak.

Figures from DEFRA state there are currently 537 cases of bird flu among 28 species over 142 locations in Scotland.
