Simon
was called to Bookham Common to assist Ranger Ian Swinney, who was concerned
about a swan on one of their ponds, with a crooked neck. Although
catching the swan was a challenge, Simon eventually succeeded and brought the
swan back to the hospital for our Vet to examine. An X-ray showed that the bent
neck was in fact an old injury, and thankfully not lead poisoning as first
suspected. The swan was coping perfectly well with his crooked neck, so we
immediately released him back to his mate, who obviously doesn’t mind his
‘unique’ look! |
