Volunteer rescues swan from a tree

Founder of East Sussex WRAS Trevor Weeks arrived at the scene to find a very unusual sight.

'Normally when you go to swan calls you expect to find a swan in a field on the ground or in a river or lake, but this swan was actually in a tree,' he said.

' am not sure how the swan came to be sitting in a tree, normally when a swan crashes into anything it then falls to the floor, but this swan found itself coming to rest on a large branch of the tree.

'This is very unusual and in my 22 years experience I have never come across this before. I still don't quite know how it managed to do this! I had to use our new ladder and climb up the tree to check the bird out.'
