United KingdomAerial surveillance has identified mass bird deaths in a second Australian state, raising concerns about the spread of H5 bird flu. Environment Minister Murray Watt warned that this marks the start of a challenging period for wildlife conservation. In South Australia, 50 dead and 30 sick birds were observed at Baudin Rocks, with samples confirming H5 infection. In Victoria, a cluster of dead and sick greater crested terns was found near Nelson, potentially marking the state's first confirmed mortality event if tests confirm the virus. Officials emphasize the difficulty of containing the disease due to the movement of wild birds and note efforts to improve species resilience.
