The Mute Swan population in the Lothians has been studied
since 1978. Only 15 pairs bred at that time in the study
area (2,000 sq km); however, this figure increased to 55
pairs by 1993 which represented a mean annual increase of
9% per annum. Th... Read More about Measurement of the demographic parameters of the Mute Swan Cygnus Olor population in the Lothians..
