鶴藪鵲鴝染病死亡

【本報訊】本港今個冬季寒意提早來臨，但發現首宗H5禽流感病毒野鳥的時間卻較上個冬季遲了兩個多月。漁農自然護理署昨公布，一隻本周二於八仙嶺鶴藪檢獲的鵲鴝（俗稱豬屎喳）屍體初步測試懷疑帶H5禽流感病毒，為入冬後首度檢禽流感野鳥，觀鳥會指難估計鵲鴝是否在港染病，漁護署則已提醒農戶加強預防禽流感措施。
鶴藪鵲鴝染病死亡
本港對上一次發現禽流感野鳥是於去年四月尾，至於昨公布懷疑帶有H5禽流感病毒的鵲鴝，則是於本周二在八仙嶺郊野公園近鶴藪管理站位置被發現其屍體及檢走，當局正繼續作進一步確定測試，因應個案，漁護署已徹底清潔管理站附近的地方，亦已張貼告示提醒市民避免接觸野生雀鳥及其糞便。

檢獲該鵲鴝的三公里範圍內雖無雞場，但漁護署已致電家禽農戶提醒他們加強預防禽流感的生物安全措施，該署亦會巡查本地活家禽農場及批發市場，提醒批發商注意衞生。
