The River Nairn Swans and Waterfowl Trust would like to commend the actions of local Man Graeme McKinnon, for a dramatic rescue of one of the cygnets this afternoon. I have been given an account and received photos of the rescue, which thankfully ended in a successful rescue of the cygnet.
Graeme took a considerable risk on the East pier wall, and skilfully caught the distressed Cygnet just before it would have been swept out to sea.
The cygnet was returned to the family at the nesting site.
I know the feeling of satisfaction one gets from a successful rescue, and I can see the same on Graeme's face.
As a Formal Thanks you are hereby made an Honorary Member of the River Nairn Swans and Waterfowl Trust. Well done Graeme !
Having checked on the Swan Family tonight, you can see them off to bed after a feed.
Slim and Sue have a lot to learn about cygnets and the dangers of the river Nairn. The wee ones are at their most vulnerable right now, but it's good to know the people of Nairn are keeping a watchful eye on them.
