Experts have warned of a real risk of turkey shortages this Christmas after a bird flu outbreak in Northumberland. Around 30,000 birds are being culled at the affected site, and more cases are considered likely as migrating wild birds arrive for the winter. The poultry industry says strict biosecurity and movement controls are in place, and there is no current sign of a nationwide shortage.
