After a series of unfortunate incidents last year, protective measures have been reinstated to safeguard the swans nesting in Grimsby town centre. These measures, which were originally introduced in April 2024, involve the usage of CCTV surveillance and fencing to deter any potential harm to the birds. Last year, two swans were subjected to malicious attacks, with perpetrators throwing bottles at them. Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue (CWR) has once again stepped up to implement these safety precautions, specifically aimed at protecting two nesting birds along the River Freshney in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. In a heartening update, the swans have laid two eggs in the same location as the previous year. CWR is diligently monitoring the CCTV footage to ensure the welfare of these majestic creatures.
