Swans struggle to swin on the low River Welland
- last month
These swans are struggling to swim on the River Welland due to low water levels.
The river is being kept at such a level by the Environment Agency.
The agency says it has lowered the Welland as part of its work to help the Cowbit and Crowland Wash recover after a river bank collapsed following Storm Henk earlier this year.
Meanwhile, the water taxi has postponed the start of its season, while volunteer clean-up crews have used the low water level as an opportunity to fish out the rubbish.
