Chasewater

Cases were [first discovered in November](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/warning-to-visitors-after-bird-flu-cases-are-confirmed-at-chasewater-country-park/) last year at the country park.

Now Staffordshire County Council is issuing a fresh reminder to residents.

A spokesperson said:

> “We continue to find low numbers of birds with avian flu symptoms at Chasewater Country Park.  
>  
> “Please do not feed or touch any sick or dead birds, and do not feed wild birds at the site as this can cause the disease to spread.”  
>  
> Staffordshire County Council spokesperson

Anyone spotting injured or dead birds should report them to the Defra helpline on 03459 335577.
