Watch: swan injured by crossbow swims away with mate who waited ten days
Vets and RSPCA officers who released an injured swan back into the wild said it could not have gone any better - because her mate was still waiting for her after ten days and the pair swam away together.
The swan was found with injuries caused by a crossbow last week in Lynemouth, Northumberland. It was rescued and underwent surgery. Vet Sam Prescott said the swan had done "magnificently well".
