Local Woman Caught Hugging a Swan

The Cosmeston Lakes Wardens' Office is asking for help in identifying a woman who was seen hugging one of the Cosmeston Lakes Swans on 08 June 2011.

Local bird ringer and Swan handler James Vafidis stated ‘ She was just sat there hugging it, like an old friend, I couldn’t believe it’.

Investigators said the Swan was one of the more aggressive cobs of the notorious ‘Bread-Eater’ Gang and since the incident has been observed arranging flowers and behaving calmly.

If anyone has information concerning the identity of the suspect in this photographs, they are asked to contact the Cardiff Bird Ringers.
