Edinburgh locals told 'don't feed ducks' as swans wiped out by bird flu at historic park

Edinburgh residents have been warned against feeding wildlife at a historic park after bird flu wiped out more than 15 swans.

Historic Environment Scotland have put signs up at St Margaret’s Loch in Holyrood Park as they link the bird deaths to avian flu and confirm that 20 swans in the area have sadly died.

Visitors have been warned that feeding wildlife could lead to the birds gathering close together - increasing the chances of the deadly virus spreading.
