Swans are dying as they become trapped in the ice on the Marine Lake in Southport

A Swan has died after becoming trapped in the ice on the Marine Lake in Southport. Freezing temperatures mean that many parts of the lake are frozen over. The Swan that has died clearly tried to escape the icy water before becoming trapped and giving up.

Another Swan is swimming around frantically in circles trying to keep the ice from forming around it. With another freezing night expected let's hope that there are no more deaths of these beautiful birds.
