Ducklings rescued from Swaffham drain
After an epic three hour rescue operation
Members of the public, firefighters and the police joined forces to rescue 13 ducklings trapped in a roadside drain.
The three-hour drama happened on Saturday night in Swaffham. Fire crews managed to lift an old manhole cover in the middle of the road so they could reach in and retrieve the ducklings.
As the mother duck had left, and could not be found, all 13 were taken home by one of the rescuers who rears ducklings.
They will be released back to the wild when they are old enough to fend for themselves.
