Lock on Trent & Mersey Canal before it joins the confluence of the River Derwent & River Trent. On left (under footbridge) is sloping overflow 
 
 
apparently the replacement to 'Long Horse Bridge'
River Trent ahead & to right - River Derwent joins from left - Trent & Mersey Canal is between them
 
 
 
 
 
returning up the canal Swan & Cynets seen again
cygnets above the canal overflow
last two cygnets about to 'disappear' down overflow while mother swan watches unconcerned? Unfortunately no easy way across the canal to see whether they were safe
