Mute Swan family

Sunday, September 20th 2009

The ringers spent part of the day at a local site with this family of Mute Swans. The cob already had a ring but the pen and the juveniles were rounded up and the large M rings duly applied. This was a new experience for everyone.

The juveniles were surprisingly placid but the adult male was not at all impressed!
