Fire crews in Stamford have rescued a newborn lamb from the River Gwash.

The lamb had fallen from the bank on Uffington Road and into the river.

The crew, made up of firefighters from both Stamford and Bourne fire station, used lines to rescue the animal from the water.

The lamb is now with a vet and, although feeling a little sheepish, is expected to make a full recovery.
