A warning has been issued for visitors to Sefton’s coast after dead birds were found washing ashore.
Sefton Council said it is waiting for confirmation from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) over the causes of death of the birds, but states it is suspected the birds may have succumbed to avian flu.
A council spokesperson said it is working with DEFRA “to ensure all case are reported and the dead birds are dealt with safely.”
