Swans in the Hebrides
The elegant, white mute swans which grace our lakes and rivers are declining in numbers: the result of lead poisoning, collisions with power lines and disturbance during breeding. But in the Outer Hebrides an isolated group of swans, free of these dangers, is quite stable. Chris Spray takes Chris Lowell to see the wild swans of Uist.
