00:00Volunteers in Sunderland are working to secure a safe home for a pair of swans who lost their
00:06nesting site at Sunderland Marina. Resident swan Bonnie and her new mate Ash returned
00:13from Roker Park after storms removed their previous floating platform, which had been
00:17installed as a temporary environmental pilot project. Last year, Bonnie nested there with
00:23Bruce, who was taken to a sanctuary in December due to vision problems. She had previously
00:29lost two partners to attacks. A petition has called for action and volunteers say the
00:34swans are now trying to nest on a ramp which they warn is unsafe. Marina managers say they
00:40remain open to working with the community to support a safer solution.
