Swan line

Volunteers, including from HWRT were involved in the rescue of a very lethargic pen mute swan. The deenergised swan had sat for a few days around Barnes Brinkcraft boat yard, at their Riverside Road site in Hoveton.

Following an initial call from Barnes Brinkcraft to Marine and Wildlife Rescue, one of the local animal rescue and rehabilitation organisations. Volunteers went along and liaised with boat yard attendants to see what was wrong with the bird. Some of her feathers were pink coloured, which may be a sign of something. Tom at Barnes said "she was with all the others, then she got back out again ~ was a good few days, where she walking round the yard trying to peck everyone."

Paul came and took the pen to sanctuary, where she will be monitored in isolation.
