EVERYONE has heard of hiding your head in the sand but f-ewe have heard of sticking your head in a bale of straw like this daft sheep in Aberdeenshire.
Peterhead Prison Museum worker Graham Findlay thought he was seeing double when he spotted two sheep in either end of the bale near Cruden Bay so drove home to get his camera.
However, as he returned to the bales, one of the sheep had dislodged itself leaving only one of them with its head still inside, but he took a photo none-the-less and put it up on social media where it has become an instant hit on Facebook with thousands of likes.
Findlay, 57, said: "You try to put your best pictures out there and then a quirky one like this goes 'whoosh'. We came round a corner and saw a sheep at either end of the bale.We went home, picked up the camera and went back. It was just the one sheep by then.
"I wish I had got the two of them, but I posted the picture on Facebook and it already has more than 1,500 likes. The photo was too good an opportunity to miss. I did not realise there would be such an interest, but it's keeping people amused. I assume the sheep got out after feeding, as the other one did."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
