Ten ducklings trapped in a grate were rescued by firefighters in Suffolk today.

A crew saved the ducklings after they ran into trouble in Stradbroke Road, Southwold shortly after 12.20pm today.

Firefighters worked for around 45 minutes to free the ducklings, which were taken back to the safety of a nearby pond, a brigade spokesman said.

The Southwold fire crew was back at its base by 1.25pm.
