http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/02/03/britain.birdflu.reut/index.html I hope this poultry farm outbreak in Holton is nowhere near you!

Hopefully it will be an isolated incident.

Fortunately it's quite a long way away from me. I am concerned about it because I think I am the only group member in the UK that keeps poultry. If the worst comes to the worst I could comply with regulations to keep them safe. They would have to be confined more than they are now and I would need to net the runs with fine mesh netting to keep wild birds out. I could do it if I had to. Thanks for thinking about me, Jeanne.

We have had an extremely dry month. Wildlife organizations pay to have rice fields flooded for them and there are a lot of refuges, but still huge flocks are being jammed together to follow the water. I don't remember what was killing them last time this happened but a huge number of birds died. I hardly ever see magpies since west Nile swept through. Jo
