- Simon was called out to a swan that had been struggling to walk. Upon rescuing it, he discovered a giant lump underneath the foot. Far too complex a case for Wildlife Aid at the time of filming, Simon brought the swan to an expert who got to work on seeing whether or not the swan could be saved...

Simon's new side hustle: Dating agency for swans :D
All part of the service lol.
Spot on 😂
I never knew Wildlife Aid also offered a dating service! Truly an all-purpose, full service agency!
Certainly a different kind of 'assistance'!
I know when the vet sees you show up, he instantly thinks "what animal are you bringing me this time around"
Certainly could be anything!

She was remarkably calm - I think she knew that she was being helped... she even didn’t object when Simon called her a”good boy”!
it wasn't just a rescue, he also provided that swan with love till it dies.
Awww Simon sitting with the swan in the back seat was so cute 🥺
He has more stamina then most
Or the trunk!
For me, swans are now synonymous with Simon. When someone mentions “swan” the first image that comes to mind is Simon saying “stop bullying” and “shuh shuh shush”
He certainly has dealt with a fair few swans over the past 40 years!
When I think of white Swans, I can't help thinking of that short video where poor Lawrie keeps getting hissed at and bitten by the extremely ungrateful swan in the back seat.
*hiiisssss*
"Ow. Ow. That *really* hurt!. Ow."
Thank you, for that memory, Lawrie.
In the world of selfish doom and gloom, there are some people who fight against that and show what mankind is suppose to act like.
That's very kind, thank you :)
aside from me loving wildlife and finding this fascinating as a topic I admire and adore what they accomplish here! when I send one to someone (a friend who also rescues & is licensed etc) or post them on social media Many enjoy all of these. they give some hope in dark times. (these past 5 years for me).
I too love this celebration of life.
well, I do the best I can. Thanks
Well said!
I got teary eyed when the 2 swans started their courtship ritual. 💕
It was a lovely ending indeed!
"Like she's got high heel shoes on" 🤣 that's an amazing comparison.
Or better, like she's on points in swanlake ballet.
Simon is such a Good Man. He easily could have said no to the surgery. But he said yes, we’ll help her.
We're very lucky to have such skilled vets volunteer their time and expertise!
@@wildlifeaid That is amazing that he took such care and was so careful with an animal he's not used to working on. Just great to see that there are still some who will give of themselves for the betterment of the world.
it was worth a try to see how it goes, wasn't it
@@xaraxania yes but there’s also the cost, complications with any surgery, and the Dr saying he didn’t think it was necessary.
@@02337755 "Not necessary" - maybe so. It's all a balance of several factors and the main one has to be the quality of life for the animal.
I think the quality of life for two swans there went up 200 and 100% respectively !
Oh my gosh! The ending actually had me in a bit of tears! That was absolutely brilliant guys, thank you so much for that beautiful rescue story. It must be so incredibly satisfying to have an ending like that! Well done team!
It was brilliant to see the swan released! Thank you for your support :)
Right, it reminded me of Louis from the Trumpet of the Swan.
Me too
The swan healed faster with Simon's soothing words of encouragement, I'm sure.
Seeing Simon and Swans is really special.
That mating scene at the end...
Stunningly beautiful
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Goodluck swanny swan
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
It certainly was :)
Awwww! Even her feathers look healthier too! Her neck looked really skinny when you first rescued her! Thank you for saving her!
When you're a lone swan minding your own business and suddenly some dude comes around and hands you a mate
Suddenly the easy bachelor life is over!
lucky to be a swan!! wish some giant creature would wander over & drop off a girlfriend for me lmao. much easier than a dating app!
Swan Is Probably Wondering🤔Why Is This Human Making A Nest For Me? I'm Not Mating With It!😦😦
I gotta say, that swan really was on her best behaviour during that vet trip. Didn't even try to beat up Simon!
She was indeed!
This is the only kind of love story I want to see.
Tomorrow another swan would get himself caught on purpose so WAF can help him meet a lady swan.
I'm very ill at the moment and hospital trips have been made a lot better by Simon's shushing of swans and various iterations of "I'm very fed up!". Thank you all at Wildlife Aid for all your wonderful work! 💖
So glad our videos are enjoyable for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery back to full health :)
Are you better now? I don't know how I missed this lovely video.
@@sophierobinson2738 I'm much better now, thank you Sophie! These videos are still a great comfort to myself and my loved ones :)
Loved their little 🦢 love dance at the end...
So did we!
So elegant and buetiful.
The True Romance music at the end... so beautiful. 😭🥺
A lovely ending to the story!
Good lord...I wasn't expecting to choke up at the swans displaying at the end...I can't finish my tea now lol Its absolutely marvellous, well done to all involved in the rescue, recovery, release..and of course the swan matchmaking service! Brilliant!
it was the perfect ending to the story!
So did you ever analyze the lump? Was it a cancer tumor or something else?
Luckily the lump was not cancerous :)
@@wildlifeaid Yay!!!!!! Such good news, for Swanees!
@@wildlifeaid Glad to hear!
@@wildlifeaid This is really important information. I'd even like to know the results of the biopsy and the final classification of that nodule. Please share these things with us; inquiring minds want to know. 😉
@@wildlifeaid so we may see some signets soon. 😳
Wow, one stop shop for healing and then match making. Well done Simon and everybody involved. This was so beautiful to see. Poetry in swans.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Awww, that ending :) And how Simon made sure she had a cosey nest. Great job everyone.
Thanks Annika!
What a beautiful synchronised ‘neck dance’ at the end !
It was the perfect ending!
I loved seeing the feathers up close. They look so soft. Incredible to see the two swans together. How heartwarming! 💕💕🦢🦢💕💕
Simon is really such a good man
This Dance of Life was for the man who saved her and he has it on video!
Not just a rescuer/healer but a matchmaker too! lol
5* service for our patients!
I’m surprised the swan let you carry him around without getting nipped.
From what I've seen so far, once caught swans usually give up the fight
It was very calm!
Warmth, healing, beauty and the dance...sheer swan perfection,thank you once again Simon and team :).
Thanks Ellen!
What a rescue and what an ending! My heart is melting when I see someone who takes care of these beautiful birds like that. Real happy ending story like in poems :)
Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed the video :)
Vet: "What kind of canary is that?"
No wonder they made a ballet about swans! Their little dance at the end was so graceful!
It was indeed :)
That is the least agressive Swan I have seen... maybe they become soft when they are in a spot
It was unusually calm!
I love swans so much! I loved how they did that little dance at the end! Great work!
So do we! Their 'dancing' is always a real treat to see :)
Lifesaver, swan cupid. What's not to love here :)
That synchronized dance at the end! Wow, I had no idea swans did that. Thanks for all the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous! Well done you guys, not only did you help the lady swan in distress with her lumpy foot, you found a suitable fiancé waiting for her too! Ah bless you guys, you've certainly been the fairy godfather for this dear swanny & her mate too.. 😄✌
I hope she has a wonderful life with her boyfriend!
It's amazing how the (wild!!!) swan trusted you and the vet! She felt she was in good and helping hands! 🤗
Love the way the swan just sits in car.
What a lovely video!, Simon is totally committed to the animal. So rare to see these days. Thank you. Adrian
Thanks for the support Adrian - glad you enjoyed the video!
This is the most beautiful swan video I’ve ever seen 💗
Glad you enjoyed it!
I Think that is the most nice swan ever... No aggressivity, no bag needed. Just Calm and okay.
Until your videos I had no idea how gentle, calm and intelligent swans are. Unless they're protecting their young then the gentle goes away.
A Swan fairytale. Lovely.
Thanks for helping the cheeky swan
Thank you!
Awww this is such a beautiful clip with swans doing the love dance at the end. Simon helped them find love 💛💛💛 sweet.
Thanks for watching!
Simon deserves a statue of him holding a swan!
edit: The ending had me in tears, so beautiful!
Simon and a swan that didn’t whack him? What sorcery is this? 😅
_She_ is a _Good Boy_ . Oh, Simon...🙄
That is, what we love him for 😁😉.
Years ago I found a large cygnet, very subdued by the side of a canal. The cygnet had a huge lump on one of her leg joints. After ringing around we took her to a swam rescue charity. Their vet found that the lump was caused by an air gun pellet. I can't imagine what sort of a person would do such a thing but I hope they're out numbered by the rescuers. Well done Simon, Guy and the team ❤️
I did not expect a love story and now I have a huge smile on my face!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a nice little show watching the two of those swans! Like peas and carrots.
❤️💜💚
A perfect ending!
I can't believe how cool that bird was about being in THAT situation! It's a wild animal for crying out loud! Wonder if it can tell that they're trying to help her? Hope everything goes great with her recovery and rehabilitation! Warmest greetings from Greensboro NC USA!!
Glad the swan managed to recover! You guys do great work! Thank you!
Thank you!
Wonderful. Never seen swans dance before. Thanks
Calmest and tamest swan 🦢 of the world. Didn’t even hissed or tried to bit.
When the two swans decided to pair up, that beautiful mating ritual seemed like the equivalent of ballroom dancing: beautifully, artfully, exquisitely synchronized!
A very happy outcome! Surprised at how calm the swan was while being handled at the vet's.
Indeed it was :)
Simon even cares about the swan falling in love. Hes just a SUPERMAN!!
A rescue and a love story all in one :)
Swans are really beautiful
Agreed!
A swan in water is one of the most beautiful sights
The swan was quick to get up on land and show her new beau how delicately she could walk.
When Simon said “Hey, swan” in the exam room, she gave a little honk as if acknowledging him. 🙂
Awww spring is truly in the air. What a beautiful happy ending/beginning for the gorgeous swan.
Thanks for watching!
They are so beautiful and graceful. Looks like this swan has found her mate!
What a great saga ..From rescue and a severe problem on a foot the feathered beauty gets a successful OP , and meets the partner of her dreams .He likes what he sees and so ok for him her slight limp adds to her charm and brings out his protective side ..Hope we get follow ups on these newly engaged :)👍❤️
Thanks for watching Helena! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Oh my gosh, that ending really got me. This should be a children's novel or something
This is the best rescue by far.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
That dance thing the swans did was pretty. Very cute.
Such a lovely ending. I had never seen swans courting. I'm such a softy I almost had tears in my eyes. Very lovely
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Great work you folks do!
Thank you!
Beautiful.. Just beautiful.
You are a wonderful man to care for the animal kingdom the way you do. And, don't think they don't know. There is a video on YT where a man spent years saving elephants from poachers for their ivory tusks. When that man died, the elephants led by their matriarch, walked two days to that man's home, and stayed for 48 hours showing their respect and then turned around and walked home. I was surprised when I saw on YT animals in the wild saving other animals of a different species. I know that people have been saved by animals, even in the wild. Sometimes I think we maybe helping angels unaware and vice versa. You are a blessed person.
You guys are wonderful in what you put into saving wildlife. A huge big thank you. Perth, Western Australia.
That was so wonderful to watch, the swan lake ballet at the end. Thank you Simon for your huge big generous heart!
Know that you matter to me a great deal. Greetings from Silicon Valley, California.
What a sweet happy ending! I'm so glad you managed to save her foot. It changed her life for the better...
Glad you enjoyed it!
And it got her a lovely boyfriend!
Thank you to all involved in helping .
No wonder YT kept pushing this video to the top of my queue dispite my searches being more on swans assaulting people and chasing them. ;-) One of the best Wildlife Aid videos of Simon's that i've seen yet. Great job rehabbing and then marrying off this swan!
Ohhhhh how Heart warming Your all amazing at wildlife Aid although we are living in Cornwall now we lived in Cobham for nearly 40 yrs I remember when you and your wife first started Sildlife Aid over the years you helped save so many of our animals that my 2 sons rescued from owls to Adders and nest full of Grass snake eggs from a compost at a field near plough meadows
Big thank you for all you do for All creatures Great and Small

Sitting here with a stupid grin on my face. So happy to contribute every month, well done team!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much for your support :)
That was a very accommodating swan. Very well-behaved at the vet.
Thank you for helping this beautiful Swan!
What a magnific bird... Thank you for doing it!
Thanks for the support :)
Love to see that swan happy 😍
Now Simon can add "Matchmaker" to his list of accomplishments.
Can't believe that the swan wasn't fighting to get away. Poor baby. 😥
My goodness they are gorgeous birds
Agreed!
Just spent my saturday watching this channel...
Time well spent, i regret nothing!
Swans 🦢 are so beautiful 💜
Swan eps are my favs, this one is on the top of my list!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful story with a very happy ending ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
