Swan Ringing in Cheshire week ending 3-9-11

This week I haven't ringed any Swans but have been monitory Moulting Flocks.
Over this summer I have been watching two main flocks. One at Nantwich Boating Lake where the total has been as low as 12 in June to the present level of 15 on this tuesday. All swans there are ringed.
On friday morning I went to Doddington mere where in March there were only two swans, 36 in May and peaking to 50 in August. The total is down to 19 now. Not all the swans are ringed here as getting close to the swans is difficult.
