New Years Day ! Those wondering what happened to Briget after the Scottish SPCA Wrongly put her in Loch Flemington - some good news !
With the recent hard frost I asked Duncan, one of our local Trust members to keep an eye on her and feed her when he could. As I feared, the Loch has Ice all around the sides which is of course where the weed food supply is for Swans.
Precisely why I wanted the SPCA to take her to Fishcross for care, until her new feathers had regrown in order for her ability to fly.
This takes about 5 weeks, and she still has about another week to go. Fortunately Duncan spotted her close enough to the side to throw her some food on several occasions. At one point she appeared trapped in the ice but was able to break her way out. Now she knows him, she breaks her way back to the side as she did today - you can see the trail in the top photos.
Duncan will continue to visit her until she is able to fly again. Our Thanks to Duncan for his assistance and sharing the photos he emailed the Trust.
