male swan attacks female swan

HI,
Very concerned about male swan shunning female swan!

He attacks her and I think she is in molting stage so she cannot get away!

Looks like he is going to drown her. These 2 have been together for a long time.

Last year they lost 2 cygnets. This year these mute swans have 5 that were born around April 20-23rd, 2012.

I am so afraid he is going to kill her! They have been such good parents. Lots of people visit pond to see them. All has been peaceful until now.

I appreciate any advise or information that may help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elaine
