Animals
need rescuing from the most unlikely places and we got a call from the police to
alert us of a stray swan in a very strange place - the A3! We arrived on
scene to find that the police had closed one of the busy lanes and firefighters
were on hand with a big net trying to keep the swan off the
roadway! Simon wasted no time in getting to the rescue and pursued the
swan single handedly into some very thorny bushes. Before too long (and after
losing a shoe), Simon managed to safely recover the bird and it was back to the
centre for a checkup. After a good nights rest and some breakfast, we
took the swan to a nearby lake and integrated him in to an existing group. After
watching it happily float away we even found a sandwich van to get some
breakfast of our own!
