An elderly woman escaped with her life after a swan smashed through her bathroom window seconds after she left the room. The RSPCA said the bird crash into the Jean Wilkinson's chalet home in Shamrock Lodge, Barton in Fabis, Nottinghamshire, at around 8am on Monday.
The pensioner heard a loud crash and found her bathroom window shattered and the wounded bird on the floor. The female swan ended up cut and dazed after the incident and was taken to a nearby vet's where she spent more than an hour in surgery.
She has since been transferred to Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre, near Nantwich, Cheshire, for further treatment and will be rehabilitated until she is healthy enough to be released back into the wild.
