- W3035136969 abstract "The APHA Diseases of Wildlife Scheme (DoWS) investigates mass deaths of wildlife as a priority and in October 2019 was called to investigate a report from the public of multiple pied wagtails (Motacilla alba) found dead or dying on the ground around the entrance (brightly lit from the interior) to a large building in the Midlands. Outside the breeding season, pied wagtails often communally roost in trees in city centres and other brightly lit areas of human activity – roosting close to artificial light is unusual among British birds.1 The roosts may comprise thousands of birds. Nineteen wagtails were collected and four of these, some in first-year plumage, were submitted to the APHA Shrewsbury Veterinary Investigation Centre for examination. Postmortem examination revealed that the birds were in reasonably good body condition with haemorrhage in various tissues, including lungs and air sacs, indicative of blunt trauma. Avian influenza virus was not detected. Histopathological examination of multiple tissues revealed no evidence of other disease. The building was visited on an evening five weeks after the incident was reported. Approximately 100 pied wagtails were found roosting in two trees at the building entrance with the greatest concentration of birds closest (within 2 m) to the brightest glazed area near the door. A single bird was on the ground. This individual was able to run and evade capture; however, it was unable to fly, suggesting that it was injured. Bird faeces were seen in a compact distribution on one window only, opposite the roost site. Based on the findings of internal haemorrhage consistent with blunt trauma, exclusion of alternative diagnoses, the scene investigation, and the known attraction of this species to bright lights, we concluded that a flight error was the likely cause of fatal collisions against a window. We suggest that the birds collided in flight because they were seeking a roost site close to the light sources in the foyer but did not see the intervening windows, or they were dazzled by the lights as they flew into the nearest tree by the entrance. Flight and flocking places birds at risk of colliding Due to their roosting preferences, deaths of pied wagtails around winter roosts are likely to recur. Flight and flocking places birds at risk of colliding, particularly if visual cues are obscured or misinterpreted, for example, if the flock is startled, if the weather changes suddenly, or if the lead birds in a flock make fundamental flight errors. APHA DoWS, the Institute of Zoology and others have previously reported on such events (Table 1). It is important that these incidents are investigated to determine the cause of death and exclude notifiable disease such as avian influenza and, during the mosquito flight season, West Nile virus infection. Establishing the aetiology provides evidence to alleviate public concerns, reduces speculation on theoretical causes and it may, as in this incident, lead to suggestions for reducing the risk of reoccurrence." @default.
