The unfortunate goose had to be freed by Shropshire firefighters and RSPCA officers after the alarm was raised in Norbury today .

A fire and rescue crew from Bishop's Castle went to the village at 11.40am to find the bird trapped.

RSPCA officers also responded to calls from worried passers-by and the two organisations worked together to free the goose.
