Get back in touch with the police and also get in touch with RSPB, if the lake is within so many metres of a public footpath etc they have to enforce the law regarding the discharging of a firearm/airgun and the RSPB will take up the prosecution of the offenders who shoot the birds.
Enough complaints about the offenders who are doing the drinking etc will eventually bring a clampdown , try contacting the police and tell them that the people doing the drinking are under age and that they are being abusive and threatening.
I know some people will think that I'm a kill joy but if people like this are spoiling my fishing then I'm afraid it will just have to be done, but don't confront them yourself for your own safety.
