I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this He was bedraggled and very wet. The poor thing must have been in the canal and only just managed to get out because he was also shivering uncontrollably. The ice along this section was, in places, still very thick and I can only surmise that he had tried to take a short cut across the canal and fallen through. A day earlier I had also spied a drowned deer floating in the canal. How many more creatures met there watery fate in this way?
