swans in trouble
at5 reported thursday that a lot of swans around amsterdam are very weak, because of the cold and their inability to find enough water plants to eat. a lot of them have been brought to rest up in a bird sanctuary in zuidoost. a few were well enough to be sent back into nature today. but a lot of them looked bloody awful.
i'm glad i don't have to sleep outside, or for that matter to swim in the canals.
