Almost 200 dead or dying geese at Point of Ayre

Charity says bird flu 'will get worse before it gets better' on the Island

A wildlife charity says bird flu is getting worse on the Island after finding almost 200 dead and dying geese at the Point of Ayre.

Manx BirdLife has issued an update after reporting more than 130 infected birds were discovered at the site earlier this week.

Point of Ayre site manager David Andrews says that number now stands at 181.

The organisation says this shows the situation is worsening, and is urging the public not to touch dead or dying birds.
