[a] The club approached the Queen’s Swan Marker for permission to remove ‘Hissing Sid’, his mate and his six young from the area. The application was approved but the club had to wait until the angry swan’s cygnets grew, before they could move the family. Six canoeists then formed a barrier across the river to round up the birds. The swans were placed in special bags and driven to the isolated Gallows Hill Quarry, where they have been living in peace ever since.

[b] The swan’s violent behaviour had become even worse over the past year, however, and in March it attacked a 13-year-old girl. The teenager almost drowned after the ferocious swan capsized her canoe using its long wings. The incident forced the local canoe club to seek expert help to stop attacks by the bird, which enjoys protection from the Queen.

[c] The vicious bird used his powerful wings to attack hundreds of rowers and canoeists on the River Chelmer in Chelmsford, Essex, his home for the past two decades. The swan would patrol the busy river terrorising users on a daily basis, by flapping his wings or pecking holes in boats.
