A frightened owl was found in a food waste truck in Glasgow.
The bird was discovered among rubbish in the back of the waste vehicle on November 18. Images show the male animal's feathers matted from being covered in filth shortly after Scottish SPCA officers quickly moved in to rescue him.
He was rushed to the animal welfare charity's nearest shelter, where he received several washes to remove the dirt. Officers then had to place the owl under heat in order to revive him from the conditions.
