A man from Leigh has been celebrated as a wildlife hero after jumping into a fishing lake to save a goose in peril. Jonty Murphy leapt into the water at Sycamore Fishery in Golborne after the RSPCA told the bystanders they were unable to come out for four hours.
The fishery owner was unavailable and there was no boat to be found which led to the 31-year-old to take action into his own hands. Fully clothed, the experienced fisherman got into the water, acclimatised to the temperature, and retrieved the animal in distress.
Unfortunately, the goose died shortly after being rescued on Saturday (June 11).

“Saturday was unfortunate, I saw a Canada goose in distress and we tried to get hold of the pond owner first in case he had a small boat, but he was unavailable at the time.
"So I messaged around to try and get one and couldn’t. I knew I had to at least try myself.
“It is just upsetting that I was a little too late because when I entered the water for a minute just to get used to the water temperature I could see it was still alive. Minutes later it had sadly perished.”
A Facebook post was shared by another fisherman, Hughie Naughton, who has praised the Leyther as a hero for his actions. The post gathered much attention from locals and Mr Murphy received heavy praise from dozens of people.
“This remarkable young guy came up to us and said he would swim out
