I removed this from the swan's throat #swanrescue #wildliferescue #animalrescue

A poor cygnet with a treble hook in his neck this morning in the beautiful town of St Ives. A few people called as this is a popular visitor location and so there was a gathering upon our arrival. I do this work frequently unfortunately and so am very familiar with what to expect. Don't try this at home folks. We have the luxury of x-ray at our hospital and so if there's ever any doubt they come back for a scan - and sometimes surgery. This one was lucky and the hook came out without concern and the swallowed line lifted relatively easily so he could be returned to his family. Please consider a monthly donation to keep this charity proactive and capable and enable us to grow. Bank details and PayPal options can be found on www.thewaterfowlsanctuary.co.uk - Thank you!
