Firefighters were called to a Southend home after a show hawk became trapped on the roof.
The bird of prey had become tangled in a TV aerial on the top of a property in North Crescent at around 11:50am on Sunday.
Crews from Leigh Fire Station had to use a triple extension ladder to reach the animal and had bought it down to safety by 12:25pm.
The bird was left in the care of the RSPCA.
