Swan ringing in South Cheshire week ending 13-8-11.

This week the Swan Study Group has ringed 3 swans.

Two swans were ringed on 5-8-11 at Nantwich Boating Lake. Both were second year males. They were ringed as CBN3 and CBN4.

The third swan was a very small female cygnet ringed on 11-8-11 at Wychwood Golf Course near Crewe. No Darvic ring was put on, only a BTO metal ring.

Friday morning was spent searching for a brood of 5 cygnets to no avail. I have recently found out that they have been seen several miles away near Church Minshull near Crewe. I hope to ring them next week.
