A swan rescued from a sewage treatment works will be spending Christmas in an wildlife hospital as he is not healthy enough to be released into the wild.
The unfortunate animal spent four days in an overflow tank at the facility in Stoke Albany, Northamptonshire.
Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital, which rescued him last week, said the water level was initially too low for the swan to be able to get out and it then became waterlogged.
Animal care leader at the hospital, Harriet Childs, said the male swan had “not got any oomph in him”.
