Avian Influenza The CLA has worked closely with Defra on the development of policy to tackle avian influenza and contingency planning in order to prevent a disproportionate response. CLA is the only organisation representing the entire rural economy, poultry keepers and others. Defra confirmed on 10 January 2008 that swans have been found with the H5N1 strain of bird flu at Abbotsbury Swannery, a sanctuary located in the Chesil Beach area in Dorset.
