A stricken osprey was safely rescued after it was found tethered to its nest - by a discarded fishing line.

The female bird of prey was stuck 40-foot high atop a light fixture in Ocean Beach, California, USA, with the fishing line tangled around its foot.

After making several failed attempts to fly away to get food for her three nestlings, the San Diego Humane Society organised a recovery.

Rescuers used a cherry picker to reach the osprey and safely bring it back to the ground where it was examined by a veterinarian.
