Badger rescued after falling four feet down uncovered manhole
A badger who fell four feet down to the bottom of an uncovered manhole has been rescued by the RSPCA.
An animal rescuer from the charity was called to a field in Solihull, where a piece of wood was placed in the hole as a ramp to see if he could free himself.
It quickly became clear that he was firmly stuck and in need of a helping paw to bring him back onto solid ground.
Thankfully, after a few days of being monitored and fed at a wildlife centre, he was safely released back into the wild.
