THE dramatic moment an animal rescuer swims across a lake in Chester to save a distressed bird of prey entangled in a discarded fishing line has been captured on video. The footage also shows the heart-warming moment when the buzzard is released back into the wild after returning to full health following its ordeal. The RSPCA were called out at 9.30am on April 21 after a dog walker spotted the stricken bird hanging from a bush in the island of a lake at the old Mollington Golf Course in Townfield Lane. Inspector Anthony Joynes was sent to the scene and immediately sprang into action, donning his dry suit – and headcam – before swimming out to help the bird.
