The cast of characters at Cork’s famous ‘swan lake’ has been restored after its last remaining black swan was returned to the wild today following weeks of medical treatment.
The Lough’s much-loved Phoebe, who lost her partner several years ago, has been diagnosed with arthritis and while she may walk with a limp, experts insist that she will be as graceful as ever on the water.
