Health officials have imposed a six-mile restriction zone, but say it's not the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus, and the risk to humans is very low.
Nigel Gibbens is the British government Chief Veterinary Officer.
“When we find this disease we act quickly to remove all the birds as a potential for spread to to other farms” he said.
“And we also put in place a zone of restriction – where poultry farms in the area under movement controls – while we look for further spread, or possible other sources” he added.
