Owl of the day…

…is this disgruntled-looking fella - rescued from the middle of a Finnish lake by a passing kayaker.

This great picture comes to us from Finland, where kayaker Pentti Taskinen happened upon a rather sodden-looking owl as he crossed a lake - and so offered the poor fella a lift.

As the Ilta Sanomat newspaper reports, Taskinen was paddling across Lake Tuusula on Sunday when he heard a commotion in the water.
