Vulture goes awol from Scottish rescue centre

An African white-backed vulture decided last Saturday that he didn't much like his digs at Aberdeenshire's, ahem, 2wit 2woo rescue centre and showed staff a clean pair of claws during a feeding session.

Help is at hand

The poor beastie "will probably be finding it tough to locate suitable carrion."

Somebody please direct him to Fir Park any weekend.

Okay, my turn

Could someone please tell me the Paris Hilton angle on this ?
