Paul went on a call out to a mute swans caught with cord near the bridge. On release another one was found with a line snagged in the back of the neck. After a few minutes and some food, the female was grabbed from Hoveton Granary Dyke. With a couple of plier cutters and another pair of hands, the small barbed hook was cut and slipped out and the bird re~entered her birthright waterways of the River Bure.
A further lethargic looking swan at the rear of the group milling around was spotted swaying its head. Paul explains ~ "The little lass needed treatment for parasites. It worked well and she was released the next day."
