I once found a Swamp Harrier feeding on a partly eaten Black Swan. This was
a fully-fledged Swan, not a mere cygnet, but it was a young bird, perhaps
not quite adult-sized but close. No idea who killed it. Having watched a
Swamp Harrier spend ages trying to kill a Coot (it eventually succeeded), I
suspect that it's more likely they will take carrion than that it knocked
off the swan itself.
