Earlier in the month the council announced that it had been waiting for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to verify the causes of death of the birds after scores were reported along the Sefton coastline.

DEFRA has now confirmed that the birds found at the start of July died from bird flu. The council has said they are working with DEFRA to "ensure all cases are reported and the dead birds are dealt with safely".

A definite concern, it's likely been spreading in the local bird population for a while.
