Mute Swans at the west end of KMC lake

A pair (?) of mute swans have taken up residence at the west end of the Kingston Maurward  College Lake, they were obliging and let me read their rings. Terry from RRG has passed me this informtion about the two birds  "YZIZ ringed as a Cygnet Nov 2007 KMC by Derek but not sexed YZFI was ringed as a Cygnet Sept 2006 at Lewell" (just a few miles down the river Frome from the College) "and sexed at the time as Male but not definite" - of course of the pair I thought this was the female.
