Swan Waits For Her Rescued Mate To Return After Rehabilitation
After a most dramatic rescue of a beautiful swan from a dangerous waterfall, the swan was reunited with her mate, and this amazing, romantic, incredibly heartwarming moment was caught on camera. It's a happy ending like no other, and we are so happy to not only see this rescued swan back in the wild but back in the wild with her mate - who was waiting for it to return at the site of the waterfall.
As InYourArea reports, "RSPCA officers had teamed up with rangers from the Greenfield Valley Park to help the stranded swan." The swan had fallen down the raging waterfall and was rescued from the bottom of it. Unfortunately, because of a serious eye injury, the swan couldn't be returned to the wild right away and had to go through a period of rehabilitation.
During the rehabilitation period, the swan's mate was spotted waiting for his at the site of the waterfall where the swan was rescued, so the rescuers were eager to return the swan to his mate. And the reunion was gut-wrenchingly beautiful.
Check out the pictures from the reunion below!

We want to say a personal thank you to the amazing people who worked so hard to rescue the swan, then take care of it, and finally, to release it back into the wild where it should be. The work that you do is absolutely amazing and so praise-worthy. Had it not been for you, this amazing reunion probably would not have happened.

There is instant recognition between these two swans, and even though we don't perfectly understand the behavior of swans, we can see the excitement in their eyes instantly. The moment they finally get to each other is one of the most wholesome and romantic we have seen, and we are so privileged to get to watch it happen.
