City's new pigeon scarer calls for people to stop feeding birds at the market

Adrian Diamond has been appointed by City Hall as part of a four-week trial costing £4,000 to use his hawk, Travis, to keep the pesky pigeons at bay.

The 51-year-old admits to having fond memories of visiting the market as a child and feeding chips to the birds with his grandparents.

But now he wants people to stop doing the same.
