Show Notes

Scotland confirms first cases of Usutu virus in blackbirds, a mosquito-borne bug. Blackbirds are highly susceptible, with no risk to humans yet. The virus, prevalent in southeast England for six years, is now spreading north due to changing weather patterns. Experts urge vigilance, advising to report sick or dead birds and clear stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding.
