Took a short walk along the Union Canal today - weather miserable with rain and mist all day.
Canal has refrozen in many places due to the return of cold weather lately. This young swan, just rescued from the waterside by an SSPCA officer was a victim of the long spell of icing up that has prevented water birds from reaching their food source of water plants. The swan - a female cygnet - was very thin and undernourished, and was being taken to an animal rescue centre for feeding up and recuperation.
Let's hope it returns to the canal side soon.
