Local zoologist, Bradly Yule, with the juvenile gannet found by Robert Brewster far from the sea on the Brewster family’s farm at Easter Denoon, Eassie this week - about 20 miles inland - flapping flightlessly, beside an Aberdeen Angus bull!
Once on land, gannets cannot take off unless near a cliff. This misguided gannet was driven to Arbroath and launched from the cliff top to enable it to return to the sea.
