The pair of swans at Craiglockhart pond have just hatched nine cygnets and are defending their territory ruthlessly. The male swan takes great exception to other birds (particularly mallards it seems), rearing young on his patch, and repeatedly chases and drowns every duckling he can catch. There were two left on Friday of last week, today none remain.
