Assistance to RSPCA – trapped cygnet released

One appliance and crew from Gerrards Cross and the rescue boat and crew from Beaconsfield attended, along with an officer.

A cygnet had become trapped in wire mesh approximately 10 metres from the bank.

The firefighters used swift water rescue trained staff and a rescue sled to release the cygnet, which swam off to meet other swans. The incident was left in the hands of an RSPCA inspector.
