A sad tale.
These distressing images of an injured Mute Swan were taken by a colleague of my husbands who knowing that we were birders rang my husband to ask who he should contact about the bird.
The RSPCA were contacted and within 30 minutes a trained handler arrived to first rescue the Cygnets and then the adult......the other adult had unfortunately already died from it's injuries,caused by a stray dog it is thought.
The Swan was taken to a local Vet for treatment,it's not known yet how the bird is or if it even survived the dreadful incident.
