De Celis arrived to find the juvenile swan was trapped inside an enclosed graveyard.
"This poor young swan was a little disorientated after becoming trapped in a busy churchyard, surrounded by a high fence and many graves," the rescuer said. "Fortunately, the swan wasn't injured, and I was able to safely return the bird to the nearby canal -- where he joined a sibling."
De Celis said he was familiar with the swan's family.
"Incredibly, I believe I rescued this swan's father last June, after he had become trapped -- reuniting him with this and many other cygnets, as well as his mate," he said.
