Swan shot by air rifle on Marine Lake

16th March 2018

A volunteer who cares for swans in and around Southport has spoken of his disgust after he found a swan that had been shot through the head and killed in Marine Lake.

John Golby, who has volunteered for Southport Swan Rescue for more than 20 years, discovered the gruesome find just after 6pm on Monday, after a call from a concerned fam- ily.

John said he’d never seen anything like it before in his two decades of caring for Swans on Marine Lake

If you know anything, please tell the police on 101 or to report an injured swan, call John on 07905073539.
