Bird flu!
A swan with bird flu washed up in Cellardyke Harbour, setting off a media circus. It later turned out that what they had thought was a local mute swan actually turned out to be a whooper swan from Germany, so still no local cases of bird flu in the UK. But now Cellardyke is famous.

In the morning we find the view right outside our house on the TV |
Dan and Tina from the Biology department found the swan |
Here they are being interviewed |
A satellite uplink truck in the harbour |
Police Cordon I took the bus to work as we were afraid the "police cordon" would cause a traffic jam. No reason to fear! |
In the afternoon the harbour was quite crowded |
Many more trucks joined the original one |
Locals watched the media |
Sorting out wires |
Handling tapes |
Talking on mobiles |
And some of the media talked to the local kids |
The local pub made a quick lunch special |
Heavy traffic in Cellardyke! |
We had science correspondents |
And anchors! |
ITV did its whole newscast from Cellardyke |
I thought it was neat to see someone on TV |
And the same man outside! |
"Live, Cellardyke" Just a phrase I never expected to see on TV |
And now all of the UK knows where Cellardyke is! |
