For 18 years I drove past Broad Pool twice a day and never saw Whooper Swans on it, so this is pretty unusual.'
It appears the small group of Mute Swans that has been present for the last week or so may have attracted the Whoopers to land on the pool.

Before first light on Sunday Andrew Lucas and I were driving past Broad Pool when we saw 5 swans on the water. Andrew hastily reversed back in the hope they were Whoopers but alas they were Mutes. We should have parked there for a couple of days!
