The RSPCA has blasted rogue anglers after heartbreaking pictures show a swan lying dead after getting tangled in a fishing line.
Animal inspector Michelle Hare raced to the scene after a walker spotted two cygnets trapped in the angling gear.
One of the swans was dead but she managed to free the other bird which was caught at Eastfield Park, in Greenside, Northampton on July 7.
The animal charity has released graphic pictures of the dead swan to warn of the dangers of discarded fishing lines.
