Seven ducklings found themselves in a spot of bother this morning.
To the distress of their mother, the young animals had become trapped in a drain.
Perth firefighters came to the rescue, as the worried mother looked on.
Crews members from Maddinton Station climbed into the small space to retrieve the ducklings.

In the video uploaded to the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), it showed a firefighter reuniting the duck family, one by one.
The DFES said in the tweet:

To relief of their mother, all the ducklings were safely saved from the pickle they found themselves in.
Upon their escape from the drain, their mother lead them away from the crew and to a safer spot.
What a sweet rescue.
