Summary
Another suspected H5 bird flu case surfaces near Esperance, this time in a giant petrel found on Roses Beach — one of five dead birds tested, with others coming back negative. It’s the fourth suspected case in WA, with only two confirmed so far, both also in migratory birds near Esperance. A pending result is also pending from a suspected case near Busselton. South Australia has now confirmed its first case in a giant petrel, underscoring the virus’s spread via migratory birds. No poultry farms affected, no widespread wildlife die-offs reported. Over 370 reports have been logged since mid-June, and authorities are ramping up sampling and monitoring to safeguard native wildlife and agriculture.
