A FAMILY of swans nesting on the Somerset Levels have been given police 'protection'.
Officers are urging motorists to take care driving along the A361 by Burrowbridge as the adult birds and their young have set up home by a ditch right on the roadside.
They have put up 'Police Slow' signs to advise people of their presence.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson for the Sedgemoor area has taken to social media to let people know.
In a post they say: "Please take extra care when driving along the A361 by Othery as a family of swans has made their home right on the roadside by the ditch.
"We have put police slow signs out to try and warn drivers of the danger."
