Concerned locals have spotted oil flowing through the Water of Leith - and it's now reaching new bird nests full of chicks.
The oil slick was spotted up by the Quilts in Leith by Great Junction Bridge and volunteers from Friends of Water of Leith Basin (FOWL.b) suspect it could be coming from a burst pipe.
In images shared online, a shiny coating can be seen sitting on top of the water. Locals have warned that the stretch of oil has made its way from the Quilts down to The Shore day where birds are nesting with eggs and chicks.
