| Re: Bird Flu In Scotland - Is it the deadly strain ?
Preliminary tests have found the H5 avian flu in a sample from a swan found dead in Fife, health officials have revealed.
The exact strain of the virus is not yet known, but tests were continuing and further results were expected on Thursday.
The Scottish Executive said the area was being sealed off.
If the disease is confirmed as the deadly H5N1 strain there may be further restrictions put in place.
