Young swan rescued from tangled rope

A warning's been issued about discarded waste after a young swan was spotted with rope entangled around its neck in East Sussex.

East Sussex Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service sent an ambulance with three rescuers.

They lulled the swans into a false sense of security by feeding them corn and bread, so the swan with the rope could be pulled out the water with less stress.

The swan was then carried to the nearby grass where the rope was removed and the swan checked over.
