More than 30 birds found dead in London's Royal Parks as avian flu outbreak grows
Some birds who recently died in Epping Forest are among those confirmed to have contracted avian flu.
The Tower of London's famed resident ravens and St James's Park's pelicans have also been forced into enclosures by the outbreak, due to government rules requiring farmed birds to be kept indoors.
The London Wildlife Trust said it was also treating recent bird deaths and sickness at Walthamstow Wetlands with "caution". The trust, which manages nature reserves across London said it believed the effect of the outbreak on local populations of greylag and Canada geese, mute swans, grey herons, black-headed gulls and moorhens was "widespread".Follow BBC London on
