The unexpected can happen at any time. Staying away from birds
reserves in an area where the infection has been identified is a
prudent suggestion.

So if we use the Macmillan style of risk assessment it would be prudent
to stay indoors from the end of march when the Hirundines arrive until
late September when the last leave.

After all Angus keep these points in mind.

1.. Avian Flu has been found in Africa

2. Hirundines cover most of the country.

There must be a minimum of 20 times as many swallows alone compared to
all breeds of swan.
