Swan at breaking point after brick attack

Nesting swans have had all their eggs smashed by vandals who threw bricks at their nest in east Dorset.

Andrew Stevens, who lives nearby, said he noticed on Tuesday that the nest and all six eggs had been smashed.



He said: "It's heartbreaking what's happened to them. She was clearly in distress and trying to incubate the bricks."

The RSPB condemned the act but said swan nests can become targets for vandals because of their large size.
