Members of the public are being urged to report incidents of animals being attacked at local wildlife spots.
The call from the Scottish SPCA came after reports of swans and other animals being targeted by children and teenagers on a regular basis at the Lanthorn Pond in Dedridge, Livingston.
Nesting ducks are having their eggs smashed and missiles are being thrown at the pond’s wildlife. Recently two youths were witnessed attacking a swan with sticks as it walked on the path.
