SSPCA officers decided to release the swan back into the water safely.
“Operations Control mobilised two fire appliances and specialist resources to the area where one swan was stuck on ice approximately 30 metres from the shore. Firefighters rescued the swan and handed the bird into the care of the Scottish SPCA. The SSPCA also received a call to their animal helpline from a member of the public who was concerned about the cygnet. Scottish SPCA senior animal rescue officer, Robert Ward, said: “We received a call from an individual who was worried that a cygnet was stuck in the loch.
“The animal was unfortunately trapped in the ice so we enlisted the help of the Water Rescue Team from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service who were able to free the bird and bring them to the shore for inspection. I checked the animal over for any cuts and lacerations and, apart from being quite tired from their ordeal, they were in good health. After a little rest, we released them back into the water.
