Media Circus Begins

Well here we go bird flu has arrived.

Obviously I am no expert so can't give an informed view as to the risks but you can bet the media is going to love it. I saw a bit of the ITV news and already had moved everyone up to Fife and had various experts on hand to chat to the public. So expect lots of Bird flu specials! And lots of over the top reporting.

Bit of a late comment, I know Pete, but I'm sure you picked up on the best bit of birdflu journalism on Auntie Beeb's site.

Either way I'll share.

"DNA evidence has proved that the swan at Cellardyke was a Whooper Swan and therefore was infected abroad."

I guess I'll take their word on the latter, but I wonder which bit of DNA evidence finally cliched it for them?

Oh yeah... photo of a Mute Swan accompanied the article.

Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the news!
