Residents of an Edinburgh suburb have reported growing number of rats at the entrance to a local park.
The undesirable rat packs have been cropping up at the entrance to Roseburn Park, in the Roseburn area west of the city centre, in recent weeks. Video captured by a member of the public, passed to Edinburgh Live, shows three rats ducking away under a fence.
The clip appears to show the animals tucking into bird seed that has been dumped on a patch of grass. Locals claim that someone in the area is leaving bird seed out that the rats are feeding on, and fear that it may be attracting more of the little nuisances from further afield.
