A number of potential bird flu cases in Worcestershire are being investigated by Defra.
The Canal and Rivers Trust found a number of dead birds along the River Severn in Worcester and six swans found dead in Evesham have tested positive for the H5N8 strain of the virus.
Last month, a protection zone was declared after bird flu was found on a chicken farm in Herefordshire.
And from Monday all bird keepers will be required by law to keep their flock indoors or under nets.
