Sadly, there is a dead swan beside the path from Middle Street to Spring Bridge. DEFRA have been informed and their website says that they aim to collect dead birds within 48 hours. It does not have any obvious injuries other than an old wing injury. I have put notices up at either end of the path warning dog owners of the risk of avian flu.
