Swan rescued from enclosed graveyard in Britain
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Animal rescuers in Britain said they freed a young swan found trapped in an enclosed graveyard just a few months after the bird's father became trapped in the same area.
The RSPCA said Inspector Nic de Celis responded to a report of a swan in distress at a cemetery in Neath, England, on Valentine's Day.
De Celis arrived to find the juvenile swan was trapped inside an enclosed graveyard.
"This poor young swan was a little disorientated after becoming trapped in a busy churchyard, surrounded by a high fence and many graves," the rescuer said. Fortunately, the swan wasn't injured, and I was able to safely return the bird to the nearby canal -- where he joined a sibling.
De Celis said he was familiar with the swan's family.
"Incredibly, I believe I rescued this swan's father last June, after he had become trapped -- reuniting him with this and many other cygnets, as well as his mate," he said.
