An owl which was discovered trapped down a soot-filled Scots chimney has been released back into the wild following a dramatic rescue mission.
The 20-year-old bird, named Judi, was trapped for several days before being discovered by animal welfare officers in Hawick, Roxburghshire on March 19.
Upon inspection officers from the Scottish SPCA found that Judi was the second oldest tawny owl ever to be ringed in Scotland.
