“We have been reminded by our Animal Health Team that Avian Influenza is still being detected in the wild bird population in Shropshire.  There has been no change in any of the restrictions currently in place for our county.  But it may be useful to provide the information below to our town and parishes to encourage continued vigilance and if they feel the need to put out any further communication with the public in their area, there are links below that provide appropriate posters.   

APHA has produced some signage (see below) which may be appropriate to erect to advise the public of the need for caution regarding spreading Avian Influenza at locations where AI in wild birds has been detected.
