Swan injury?

Swan injury?
I was in Bray harbour, on Saturday afternoon, and saw what looked like something stuck on a swan.. OK, in these photos, you can pretty clearly see that it's actually the swan's foot in a wonky position, but I can't zoom in with my eyes, so that's why I took these pictures - to see it better.

I was just wondering what happened to the poor thing, and should something be done about it? I actually meant to check out the Swan Sanctuary sign, on the way back, and take the number from it and maybe phone them, but then I saw the dolphins, so I have to admit that I forgot.. (I did try the website mentioned on the sign, but it doesn't seem to exist..) Whom do you contact about a swan that might be injured?

  1. If you contact ISPCA they'll either come out to check it out themselves or will get someone who can do it for them

  2. Sorry for not replying sooner - I have to do it in another browser..

    I actually asked a local vet, and it turns out that the number on the sign just sends a message to him, and the website doesn't exist (anymore?).. So, I think he might be sorting out some hosting for it, and I might help with the website.

    "Ask, and you shall volunteer", lol.. =D
