COASTGUARDS rescued a man who was stuck on a cliff.
He had clambered down the cliff trying to retrieve his drones, according to rescuers.
The Swanage and St Albans coastguard teams were called out to help the man who was stuck in a coastal area at Ballard Down, Swanage.
Swanage Coastguard Rescue Team said of Friday evening's incident: "The pilot had been trying to retrieve two of his drones by climbing down on a rope and then was unable to get back up.
"The teams set up the equipment to secure the male before recovering him and his two drones safely to the top."
The team added: "Whilst drones are expensive, never put yourself in danger trying to recover a crashed one on a cliff."
