    If the gutter is wide enough, it shouldn't be a problem. The only way it would become a problem is if the ball is large enough to cause a blockage and stop the gutter from draining away water. This can cause it to overflow or in extreme cases, it could get too heavy and drop down which could be costly to repair. Depending on how hard it is to get, i'd recommend trying with a ladder if possible. Just be careful you don't fall down

    Hope this helps :)
