Swans may look harmless -- regal, even -- but beneath that snowy white plumage they're basically just the thugs of the avian world.
The older residents of Hope Mill Park in Stroud, Gloucestershire, know this all too well. They've been plagued by antisocial swans to such an extent recently that they've had to resort to using water pistols to fend off the feisty beasts.
Just look at this swan, casually vandalising a car. Just because he's got the Queen's protection he thinks he can do what he likes.
Disgraceful.
