Paul, Edward, Chris and Carol with Jeffrey the placid German Shepherd collectively came to the rescue of a mute swan.
Earlier in the day a family who were visiting the riverside noticed the cob's (male) awkward moves as he walked about the bird feeding arena. After inspection the leg and foot was felt very warm to the touch, compared to the coldness of the right foot and leg.
The swan was taken to a wildlife rescue sanctuary, where investigations revealed an infected cut. He was put on anti inflammatories and antibiotics. The limping swan is expected to make a full recovery.
Paul, Chris
