This is the bizarre moment a bird of prey was rescued by firefighters – after getting trapped in a tree.

The red-tailed hawk called Milly got in a flap when a tether around her ankle became tangled in branches.

She was soaring above Ludlow Racecourse in Shropshire at around 6.55 pm on Monday (Sept. 16) when she flew into trouble.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service dashed to the scene and crews used a 9-meter tall ladder to reach her.

Firefighters managed to untangle Milly, who was unhurt, before reuniting her with her owner.
