Bird flu has been detected in another popular pond in the south of Edinburgh, as locals have been urged to keep their dogs on a lead and avoid touching any dead animals.
Following a warning to people visiting St Margaret's Loch in Holyrood Park, bird flu has now been detected at Blackford Pond. The Friends of the Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill page on Facebook has issued government advice on the issue.
They say those walking in and around the pond area should take the advice being issued which includes keeping their dogs on a lead and ensure that they stick to the footpaths in the area.
