Roving beneath the rock was a sheep, wool coat vastly overgrown.
It was totally alone, far away from its flock and trapped at the bottom of the cliff.
Fiona is now shaved and comfortable, destined for a life of greater comfort.
Turner toldThe Guardianthat the sheep followed her along the shore as she rowed, vocalizing a need for help.
Joined by a team of farmers, the crew hauled Fiona up the steep cliffs using machinery.
After retrieving Fiona, the next step was shearing the poor creature who was drowning in her own wool.
Sheep need regular shearing or their wool becomes matted and bad for their health.
Fiona currently resides atDalscone Farmwhere she has been receiving much love and media attention.
She and her rescuers have been praised for their fortitude.
