For me, swans are now synonymous with Simon. When someone mentions “swan” the first image that comes to mind is Simon saying “stop bullying” and “shuh shuh shush”

[@wildlifeaid]

He certainly has dealt with a fair few swans over the past 40 years!

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

When I think of white Swans, I can't help thinking of that short video where poor Lawrie keeps getting hissed at and bitten by the extremely ungrateful swan in the back seat. *hiiisssss* "Ow. Ow. That *really* hurt!. Ow." Thank you, for that memory, Lawrie.

@@02337755 "Not necessary" - maybe so. It's all a balance of several factors and the main one has to be the quality of life for the animal. I think the quality of life for two swans there went up 200 and 100% respectively !

it wasn't just a rescue, he also provided that swan with love till it dies.

You are a wonderful man to care for the animal kingdom the way you do. And, don't think they don't know. There is a video on YT where a man spent years saving elephants from poachers for their ivory tusks. When that man died, the elephants led by their matriarch, walked two days to that man's home, and stayed for 48 hours showing their respect and then turned around and walked home. I was surprised when I saw on YT animals in the wild saving other animals of a different species. I know that people have been saved by animals, even in the wild. Sometimes I think we maybe helping angels unaware and vice versa. You are a blessed person.

Years ago I found a large cygnet, very subdued by the side of a canal. The cygnet had a huge lump on one of her leg joints. After ringing around we took her to a swam rescue charity. Their vet found that the lump was caused by an air gun pellet. I can't imagine what sort of a person would do such a thing but I hope they're out numbered by the rescuers.
