Trying to avoid a swansong

摘要

The Canal & River Trust has teamed up with power suppliers to save swans, geese and other wildfowl from the perils of overhead lines. Northern Powergrid engineers have installed brightly-coloured markers along a section of Doncaster's Stainforth & Keadby Canal to increase visibility of the lines to birds, particularly those flying from nearby Staniland Marina. CRT contacted the power company to request the installation of flight diverters following the report from a member of the public of a dead swan.
