Cygnet Saved From Dublin Drain


Occurred on May 9, 2020 / Dublin, Ireland

Info: We were watching the beautiful swans and their babies as they made their way up the pond away from their nest. The Cygnets were only 2 days old the day this video was taken. We caught a glimpse of the cygnets the day prior when they had hatched! The family was drifting close to the gap when they changed course and turned back. The cygnet that fell down into the drain was at the end of the group and accidentally fell down. Josh went to find somewhere he could jump down, he then slowly and quietly tried to approach the crying cygnet to rescue it. The 2 swans (Mammy and Daddy) could hear the cries of their baby and you can see them trying to find where the cries were coming from. Eventually, he catches the cygnet and returns it to his family in the pond. A happy ending.
