Present JS. KH. RG. and CG. Jack Sheldon is a member of our group and The North West Swan Ringing Group. Through Jack, who has taken these photographs and is therefore not on any, it was arranged to extend our skills/knowledge by ringing Mute Swans. Charles Findley showed the members the finer points of how to do this. The day before, we were ringing birds 1000 times lighter in weight and thanks to his patience we each ringed, and colour ringed, 4 birds each. Detailed photographs and notes were taken of each stage for future expeditions. A few are shown here to give a flavour of the day. Thanks again Charles.

thanks for this post. Always something new to learn.
Well done, It's nice to get all of the brood, and Urswick is often a place we don't manage to get them all. Hope I can meet up with you sometime soon, you are always welcome to join in our expeditions!
regards
Wes Halton NWSSG Group Coordinator
