The staff and management of the Solway Coast AONB are totally committed to the area, working in partnership with the Joint Advisory Committee in order to continue the excellent work already completed to protect and enhance the area.
Find out more about Avian flu on the Solway on ITV Border this evening from 6pm. Although a very sad and worrying story, it was a unique experience filming in the middle of a very wintry Rockcliffe Marsh on the Castletown Estate
Unfortunately we are experiencing a significant number of dead wild birds being reported on the shore- many of these are geese- and will likely be casualties of the current avian flu outbreak. If you see a dead or sick bird please do not touch it and report to the Defra wild bird phone line on 03459 33 55 77. More info at www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu
