In a tense wildlife rescue that unfolded over five hours at Queens Park, two young goslings were saved from aggressive swans thanks to the combined efforts of local volunteers and wildlife experts. The incident, which occurred on April 20th, involved multiple organisations including the East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service (WRAS) and The Swan Sanctuary from Camberley.
The rescue operation began in the afternoon when the goslings were spotted being attacked by swans. A quick response by local volunteer Amanda and advice from East Sussex WRAS initiated the rescue efforts. The Swan Sanctuary team arrived with a plan to secure the entire geese family. Although three of the four birds were successfully captured, the male goose eluded rescue, showing aggressive behavior that volunteers described as “horrible.”
