This poor little lamb was having a very baaaad day after she fell 10ft into a muddy well in her field in Lincolnshire.

The RSPCA was alerted to the lamb’s plight by a walker who heard her desperately bleating for her mum in the deep, stone well in the middle of a field off Green Lane, Woodhall Spa.   

An RSPCA inspector managed to get her out by climbing down onto a ledge in the well shaft and reaching down to scoop her up. 

She was given a quick check over and as she didn’t have any injuries, was released to join the rest of her flock and most importantly her mum.
