Kent Fire and Rescue Service posted about the rescue on its Twitter page this afternoon.

A spokesman said: "Firefighters used a ladder to access the feathered family, before safely cutting back any thick vegetation and moving them to a nearby pond. An egg-cellent ending!"

Earlier this month, a 13-week-old kitten whose adventures left her in a tight spot also had to be rescued by firefighters.

Crews used a snake-eye camera to locate Sukki who had got trapped between a wall and a cupboard in a house in Clifton Road, Gravesend.

Meanwhile, in March, the RSPCA was called to help fox cubs that were stuck in Biggin Hill workshop.

Escaped animals, unusual finds and news from the RSPCA can all be found here.
