Those visiting the Murrayfield hospital grounds in the west of Edinburgh were in for a bit of a surprise as an escaped vulture had decided to make its way up a tree in the car park.
The cheeky turkey vulture had been taking part in an ‘Animal Antics show’ at Edinburgh Zoo in Corstorphine which looks to show animals behaving naturally outside of their enclosure.
But in a rare circumstance, this particular bird decided to take off from the zoo and visit a tree in the adjacent hospital on the afternoon of Thursday July 21.
