A white swan has been turned black after what is thought to be printer toner was dumped in a pond. The mute swan was rescued from the water in Westbury, Wiltshire, covered in a black powdery substance.

It was taken to RSPCA West Hatch where staff said it will take "quite a lot of Fairy Liquid to get it clean". Photos from the animal rescue centre show staff carefully cleaning the bird in a large tub of frothing water.
