A crowd of Edinburgh locals and tourists gathered in the city centre while the fire service attempted to free a trapped pigeon that became entangled in a net.
The extraordinary ordeal was filmed by comedian Jordan Stratton, who provided hilarious commentary throughout, as a height appliance was mobilised by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to rescue the bird.
The incident occurred on the High Street where it meets North Bridge, as the video started with the comedian explaining the situation, then capturing footage of the pigeon trapped in the net at the top of Niddry Street.
