An owl had to be rescued after becoming trapped in a discarded fishing line in an Edinburgh canal.
The poor bird was spotted hanging over a section of the Union Canal in Ratho when a member of the local recovery charity The Sorted Project was on a canal boat across the water.
They spotted the owl in distress and managed to untangle it from the wire and called the Scottish SPCA who sent an officer out to meet the barge, reports the Record.
