Dead wildfowl at Boggart Hole Clough

A number of birds have been seen dead on the boating lake at Boggart Hole Clough, mainly Canada goose (Branta canadensis) ~ 8 and an unknown number of both Coot and Moorhen. The deaths have been reported but the cause is as of yet unknown. Tests for avian flu will be carried out on the dead birds but there is also speculation it could be down to a bloom of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Human action isn't thought to be the cause at this time.
