    Pure luck. He was eating the food but suddenly turned around and started flapping. The one shot I managed to get just happened to be a good one.

    Question: I've just snapped a swan with what looks like a plastic cable tie stuck in its beak/bill. Should I report it to someone who can help? It is eating OK.

    Cable tie or drink bottle seal? I'll check again tomorrow to see if they've ridded themselves of it...

    The RSPCA have been here a few times apparently and can't catch him!

    The origin of the plastic part I reckon.

    Plastic now gone. Don't know if it came out naturally or was removed by the RSPCA...

    I've just found this thread accidentally - this was taken at the RSPB reserve at Frampton Marsh a few weeks ago.
