Disturbed

A few weeks ago a dog attacked one of the (now large) cygnets and it didn't survive. Posters have been put on trees asking people to put dogs on leads when walking near the pond. They are often out of the water but it was really noticeable today that they are nervous. I have never been frightened walking past them but today I was very unsure. One of the cygnets was in hissing mode, fortunately I have no dog, but they are extremely anxious.
