A British
Waterways patrol boat sank today in Diglis Lock at Worcester. Unfortunately
this resulted in a spillage of diesel into the River Severn, which caused
concern for some nearby swans.
Firefighters from the Hereford & Worcester Brigade
were called to pluck five of the swans from the river after they had swallowed
a considerable amount of the diesel oil.
The swans were then taken to the Wychold based Swan Rescue
Centre where assistant, Jan Harrigan, said that it had been a successful
mission. |
