By Sean CoughlanRoyal correspondent
A historic royal census, known as " swan upping" has revealed a 40% drop in The Number of cygnets on the River Thames , compared with Last Year .
The Decline has been blamed on avian flu But also a growing problem of violence, including shootings, catapult attacks and dogs killing Swans .
Only 94 cygnets were found on the five-day search of the Thames.
The King 's swan marker, David Barber , said the result was " disappointing" But , because of avian flu, expected.
The impact of avian flu had been " horrendous, terrible to see, " said Mr Barber, who was in charge of The Count , which covers the Thames from London to Abingdon in Oxfordshire.
Down from 155 in 2022, it was the lowest number of cygnets for seven years.

Another factor in The Decline was high flood-water washing away nests.
But there were also concerns about " vandalism" including:
This was The First annual " swan upping" under the insignia of King Charles III.

" Swan upping" began in the 12Th Century as The Crown protecting its ownership of Swans - But it is now about Wildlife Conservation .
Once a delicacy in medieval banquets, they are now a protected species.
