Hi all
Just an update about the swans. Sorry to butt into your forum last night but it was a moment of desperation and sadness as you can imagine

The RSPCA did turn up in the end - I think they had to come from Halifax. As was suggested on here, the rspca did believe that they were poisoned and they removed some bread from inside their mouths/ necks. They took the swans away. The pictures that I posted did not really reflect how awful the swans were. They could not raise their necks. The little one which was born within the last two weeks (there was only one young this year) seemed fine.

The nest this year was made close to the swing bridge opposite canal side to express gifts. That empty nest is a very sad sight

Just as an aside, there have been some cats poisoned in Church lately - according to local gossip

Regards
