'Jailbird' back home behind bars

An eagle owl which escaped from Liverpool prison is back "inside".

Boris was recaptured after escaping from his nest at HMP Liverpool and getting tangled up in the nearby suburb of Old Swan.

He was rescued from the TV aerial of a house in Gidlow Road South by the RSPCA and fire crews. He is now back with his handler at the prison.

Boris is used to hunt pigeons and rodents at the prison - instead of using traps or poison.
