Don't be silly. Stop it. Stop it, because it really hurts.
00:09
Come on, come on. Get your wing out as well. Come on.
00:12
You've got one. All right, come on. Back down to the door.
00:19
We've just had a call from a member of the public,
00:21
who seems to have a cygnet that's stuck in a chain-link fence,
00:24
being protected by another swan, which is presumably the cob,
00:28
and there's another six cygnets around, so I'm not quite sure what the scenario is.
00:32
All I do know is that normally an adult swan protecting a young is incredibly vicious.
00:39
Good evening. Shall we come and have a peek first and see what's going on?
00:43
They had six babies. They always have six babies. Right.
00:46
But one of them's tiny, so I think they've adopted a baby, and it is one of their infants.
00:51
OK. Well, what have we got then?
00:55
OK. Well, there's mum and baby. Oh, there it is.
00:59
And a very angry dad.
01:02
OK. Right. This is where we'll likely get attacked.
01:07
Good boy. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go on. Off you go. Good boy.
01:11
Go on. You go down there. Thank you.
01:16
Hello, sweetheart. You've got one. All right. Come on. Back down.
01:19
He's all right. We're fine. We're good. All right, baby.
01:24
You've got to go back the way you came or you're going to get well stuck, aren't you?
01:28
All right, fella. All right. All right. Don't do that. Don't be silly. Stop it. Stop it.
01:37
Because it really hurts.
01:41
They're such protective parents. They're so good.
01:46
All right. Good boy. Go on. Come on. Come on. Get your wing out as well. Go on. Come on.
01:51
Yeah, I know. I know. Come on. You're nearly back. Come on. All right. Stay there, fella.
01:58
Stay there, fella.
02:01
Come on. Come on. Look. Here you are. Look. Good boy. All right. Come on.
02:06
Come on. He's coming with you. Come on. He's coming with you.
02:09
Come on. There's a good boy. There's a good boy. Come on. Come on. There he is. Look.
02:13
Go on. Go on.
02:15
Go on.
02:17
Go on. There's a good boy. Go and protect your baby. Don't get a go at me. I've just let him out.
02:22
Go on. Are you better now?
02:25
Are you feeling a bit calmer? Good.
02:29
So, they've all got together again. Everybody's happy and I've got a bruised arm.
02:37
It's so lovely to be able to do something like that. Such protective parents.
02:45
So, all the babies are together again. Everybody's happy.
