An injured swan in West Cavan has been dramatically rescued from a freezing lake in the past few days.
It took concerned locals, with help from Fermanagh-based Dooletter Wildlife Rescue, several hours in up to minus 7 degree temperatures to save the stranded cygnet with a broken beak at Cooleogue Lake.
Isobel Duggan Rofe from Templeport Development Association immediately sprang into action to organise the swans rescue.
