The female giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo has been caught on camera enjoying a roll in the hay.

But the breeding season has not started yet, Tian Tian was just playing around in fresh straw in her enclosure.

The footage was captured by keeper Sharon Hatton who watched as the giant creature forward rolls around before falling off her platform.

Tian Tian went back on show at the visitor attraction on Monday after a bout of colic at the weekend. Yang Guang, the male panda, was also struck down by the disease.

Since they arrived in December, 70,000 people have seen the pandas, with a 200% increase in visitor numbers at the zoo.

Panda keeper Alison MacLean said "We thought the addition of hay to her enclosure would go down well with Tian Tian as it was all new smells for her. The fact we managed to capture the moment on camera is great and it makes for fun viewing.

"It really brought out the more playful side of her character - she loved it. She was throwing it around her enclosure, rolling around in it, rubbing her head in it and generally just thoroughly enjoying herself - it was brilliant to see her have so much fun with the hay."
