Is Valentine's Day romance in the air for bereaved swan at Inverness College UHI?

It comes after the site's previous male swan died last month after injuring his wing, leaving his partner without a mate.

A spokesman for Inverness College UHI said: “Is love in the air for our lonely heart swan on Valentine’s Day?

“A new male arrived at Inverness Campus this week and after a rocky start it looks like the pair have been indulging in a bit of courtship.

“Will we see cygnets this spring?!”

Mute swans are monogamous and mate for life.
