The sheep was stuck on a rock after falling into the sea

Coastguard crews in Peel were called out after a sheep got stranded on rocks by the sea.

The team quickly found the animal just south of the queenie tip after being called out on Tuesday evening.

The sheep had fallen into the sea and climbed out onto a large flat rock.

Due to the sheep's location, the coastguard were unable to carry out a rescue, but the farmer organised a boat to collect the sheep from the rocks.
