Preliminary tests have confirmed the H5 avian flu virus in a sample from a swan found dead in Fife, health officials have revealed.
The exact virus strain is not known, but tests were continuing and further results were expected on Thursday.
The Scottish Executive said restrictions had been put in place around Cellardyke, east of Anstruther.
If the disease is confirmed as the deadly H5N1 strain there may be further restrictions set up.
