The crew of Kinsale Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) were called to a more unusual distress call on Saturday 10 August after a cow was spotted in the water.
A Friesian heifer named Ghost tumbled from her field at Castlepark Co Cork down a cliff onto rocks in Kinsale harbour.
The animal was spotted by a passing yacht and the Kinsale RNLI lifeboat, Miss Sally Anne Baggy II, was dispatched to lead Ghost back to safety.
