00:00If you go likes to Asda's, your stuff can be taken out the basket before it gets to the car.

00:10They're an absolute menace, especially in the city centre where I live now that far away from here,

00:14and the noise and the mess that it makes just unbelievable.

00:17The constant sort of foraging for food, even if you're sat out here at the moment

01:32I mean, and they're only, you know what I mean, and they're protecting their young.

01:38They're protecting their young.
