A large-scale rescue operation for a stricken swan trapped on a frozen East Kilbride loch has led to stark warnings on the dangers of icy waters.
Fire and specialist water rescue crews raced to James Hamilton Heritage Park on Thursday evening to save the bird, which was stuck on the frozen pond.
Lanarkshire Live understands the swan had been trapped on the ice for three days before rescuers came to its aid igniting fears that members of the public could have put themselves in harm's way in an attempt to save the bird.
