We never duck the big issues.
So while it may ruffle a few feathers, we aren’t afraid to egg-spose the big bird news of the day.
And on Wednesday said bird news involves a large batch of domestic ducks cruelly dumped at an Angus beauty spot.
Who would do such a thing?
A tough case for sure.
Can anyone quack it?
We find out more.
But it’s not just about animals.
Not a bit of it, we are also branching out into tree news.
More specifically the dramatic rescue from choppy sees off the coast of Angus.
RNLI workers and even a helicopter crew were scrambled to save an old Christmas tree.
And they did, battling treacherous conditions before bringing it safely ashore.
Hurrah.
But wasn’t it all a bit of an over-reaction for an old festive fixture.
Probably, but then they did initially think it was a body and didn’t twig until it was too late…
Why didn’t they leaf the scene as soon as they found out the dramatic rescue was needle-less?
We reveal all.
Meanwhile, it is a very happy birthday for a 130 year-old.
That’s right, a resident of Courier Country has reached a truly remarkable milestone.
Incredible stuff.
And said resident has just enjoyed the best year of their life.
That’s because the local to whom I refer (at what is rapidly becoming rather tedious length) is St Johnstone FC.
We have all the details of the unconfined joy that is inevitably greeting the happy occasion.
