Bird flu has now been found in three places in Derbyshire.
Avian flu has been confirmed near Brailsford in South Derbyshire, after cases were recently identified near Hatton and Doveridge.
10km surveillance zones and 3km protection zones are now in place around each site. Road signs warn people when they are entering the area.
If you keep chickens or other captive birds please follow hygiene and biosecurity measures, and keep your flocks inside.
If you suspect bird flu in poultry or other captive birds, you must report it immediately by calling 03000 200 30.

Whether you're a pedestrian, cyclist, bus user or motorist you're set to benefit from millions of pounds of investment in Derbyshire's travel and transport network.
We're going to spend £27m in 2023 to 2024 to repair roads and pavements, reduce flooding and improve local bus and cycle networks.
The investment, funded by the government, marks the final part of our major three-year, £120m programme to resurface roads and pavements damaged by bad weather, improve bus travel and develop more rural cycling and walking routes to boost tourism.
This year, we already delivered over £20m of travel and transport improvements across Derbyshire.
