MORE than a dozen eggs and about 20 birds previously targeted for culling have been rescued from under a railway bridge. Work was carried out at the end of last week in a bid to stop pigeons roosting under the bridge on Dunbar’s Spott Road. East Lothian Council brought in contractors to carry out the work after concerns about the birds swooping down and startling drivers, as well as the pigeons’ droppings making the footpath under the bridge slippery and hazardous. Originally, a cull was considered but a petition against the idea was signed by nearly 3,000 people calling for a rethink.
