Wildlife Rescue in Moyles Court reported a male cob swan found at Christchurch Quay with a large swelling in his neck. Surgery revealed a ball bearing had been fired at him, leading to an infection due to the injury being untreated for an extended period. The rescue team faced challenges catching the agitated swan before stabilizing him for anesthesia and surgery. He is currently in intensive care, requiring antibiotics and pain relief for recovery. The organization urges public donations to support its wildlife hospital in continuing their life-saving efforts.
