Noticed this swans nest on a walk round the Ley with a pair of swans adding material to the structure.
On the way back after lunch at a local hostelry the same nest seems to have been take over by a family of Mallards.
On closer inspection the nest held several eggs (swans), one of which can just be seen below the right hand end of the chicks. I seem to remember that swans don't begin sitting until the whole cluch of eggs have been laid so that they all hatch out together and I suspect the nest owners had just gone off to feed.
