30th January 2012: These two juvenile black swans were observed in the Whitby Lakes to have a sore left legs by local resident Jenny Patterson. Through my earlier work with the water fowl at Whitby Lakes I was contacted by Jenny and we managed to net one of the swans on the 25th whom we have now called Whitby. Upon examination his/her left knee joint was found to be hot and slightly swollen indicating a likely infection in the joint. Whitby is now on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pain relief. We would expect to see some improvement within the next 7 days.
On Friday 27th Julia the local Whitby vet delivered the 2nd swan out to us after it was found immobile on a lawn. We have called him/her Julia and he/she is also on the same medication regime as Whitby.
If they are not on the duck cam when you visit they will be out in the rehab pond getting their daily exercise but will be back in at night.
The swans presently have rice and greens in the plastic food bin and a mirror for company. As soon as Whitby and Julia 
are well they be released back to Whitby Lakes.

Ist Feb 2012: It is funny how it goes when you do bird rehab. We have had no swans in for months and now we have three with the 3rd swan we are calling "Berry: having arrived yesterday after being collected from Vic and Riki's backyard in Berhampore by Brett of Wellington SPCA. But what is even more incredible is that all three swans have sore left legs. In Berry's case she has an infection in her right toe on her left foot which has been cleaned out and he/she is now on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pain relief. She has a cardboard jandal and bandaging to try and keep it clean and dry (which is nearly impossible with water-fowl). Berry spends most of the time looking into the pen next door where Whitby and Julia are.
