Ovcharitsa reservoir served again as a refuge for swans, who were patients of the Wildlife Center

16.03.2012

The birds were young, collected from various parts of the country, and we treated them for about a month. Accompanied by some of the Rescue Center volunteers, they were released yesterday, once again at Ovcharitsa reservoir. Several days ago this same place became second home for four other swans. Despite the sudden wind gusts and the snow, the birds did not hesitate to choose freedom and bravely went swimming in the choppy waters of the reservoir.

We wish them luck and favorable winds as they will soon set out on their oldest route – the birds’ migratory route.

1. The first one needed some directions.
2. After that the bird confidently stepped out of the cage
3. And boldly started swimming in the waters of the reservoir.
4. The second swan under the encouraging eyes of the volunteers.
3. And boldly started swimming in the waters of the reservoir.
5. It rapidly slipped away.
6. And swam away as far as possible.
7. We had to disassemble the cage for the third bird because it was facing in the wrong direction.
8. But at the end everything was O.K. for the bird, too.
