animal stranded Yorkshire Dales

River Aire embankment, near Skipton

A report was received of a sheep stranded on the River Aire embankment beneath a railway bridge near Skipton. A team of Water Technicians attended and conducted a thorough search but found no sheep in distress, concluding it had moved on or the report was unfounded.

Outcome: no rescue required, sheep not located

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
