ITV News visits islands shut to public after wild bird colony hit by avian flu| ITV News



What was once a tourist hotspot, with tens of thousands of visitors, is now completely shut to the public thanks to one deadly disease – avian flu.
The Farne Islands, which are home to vast numbers of puffins, terns, guillemots and eider ducks, are now locked down until the end of summer 2023.
It is hoped that limiting human contact will reduce the spread of the virus, according to the National Trust, which manages the seabird colony’s home.
Access to the islands, off the coast of Northumberland, will now be limited to a small number of rangers who’ll monitor the birds and manage their habitat.
