pair + 4 small juv. Family all at nest beside the Thorley Brook opposite Off the Rails. Same site as last year, when the pair produced two young but the young were taken to a swan sanctuary on the mainland as the parents weren't feeding them properly (considered to be first-time parents). This year's family was also reported at Yarmouth Mill on 17th May. SZ357894.
