Volunteers who found the male bird seriously injured say they are 'absolutely heartbroken'
A swan shot in the head in a Sunderland park has died of its injuries, leaving wildlife volunteers "heartbroken".
Volunteers managed to pull the swan from the lake the following morning but he was unable to survive his wounds. "There seems to be a spate recently of attacks on wildlife, not only at this location but in the other fishing and wildlife locations around here." Herrington Country Park, along with 15 other parks, cemeteries and gardens in Sunderland, has remained unlocked since 2016 due to budget cuts.
