Photo: tanked sheep

On my 10-mile walk around Brailes Hill yesterday, I heard this sheep bleating: "Help me I am trapped".

I found it trapped in a water tank. There were very heavy concrete slabs on it - but one of them had been moved and the sheep had got in.

I phoned the police, and eventually, got him to understand where the sheep was.

About half an hour later the fire brigade phoned and asked if I could find them and help them to find the sheep - but I was over a mile away then. Soon after that, I found a lady who knew who the farmer was - and said that she would get a message to him.

The camera has a stabilizer - so the photo should not be that blurred.

Thank goodness you went for a walk today. Who knows what would have happened. A good end to the story at least.

I was brought up on a farm - and I was able to understand that this sheep was saying something different to all the others... but it's bleeding seemed very loud when I could see no sheep that close - so I looked for it ...heard it in the tank and, eventually, it walked up to me and asked for help. Just in case the police could not find it, and might accuse me of wasting their time, - I took a photo!

I've always been a country girl, and you can definitely hear distress in an animal when you hear it !xx

It was a rainy day - so perhaps no-one would have gone past that day.

Rather than trying to describe where you are use the what3words app. Emergency services all over the world use this. It divides the area into 3m squares, so if you are in the middle of the wilds you can use them eg fence.gross.bats. I’ll leave you to find out where that is.

It’s easier than quoting a set of grid references.

Ooh! Poor little thing. Well done you for helping it. Glad it was you who found it. Someone else might have walked away and left it to starve. x

I'm so glad we have caring people like you around...
