Sowerby Bridge

Whooper still in the marina at 13.40. I gather from Andy H that someone from Swan Rescue is on his way.
Bird is alert and been fed by some local people as its fed on bread and scraps and is very confiding and gives the occasional call. However there is some blood on its feathers behind the neck and lower neck feathers look very bedraggled so there is an injury somewhere! It was preening as we left.

Dave the blood on the feathers was a small amount and didn't appear to come from any visible wound. Suspect maybe a little from the bill when preening probably from a minor cut, certainly nothing obvious. Dan didn't seem concerned about it so good news there.
