On monday 22nd I went to the canal at the Shady Oak near Tarporley, where I caught and ringed seven cygnets(CBP6/7/8/9+CBS0/1/3). These included three females and four males. I also caught both adults and added rings to the Cob(CBS2).
On friday 26th, a friend and I were in the Chester area where we caught and ringed 3 cygnets (CBS4/5/6). These were two females and a male on the canal in Waverton. These cygnets were three out of six hatched on Christleton pool. This pool has quite a history of breeding since 1990. We also caught both adults and replaced their Darvic rings(CBS7/8).
We then moved on to the River Dee in Chester where we caught and ringed four adult swans(CBS9/CBT0/CBT1/CBT2). These were two females and two males.
We next went to the Chester canal basin and caught three out of four cygnets(CBT3/CBT4/CBT6). these included two females and a male. We caught and ringed the pen(CBT5). A good mornings ringing.
