Yesterday we went to Clumber Park to enjoy the 23 degree sunshine. Whilst there, we had a quick look at the 50+ Mute Swans that were on the lake. The vast majority stayed on the water, but we did manage to read four rings: Y204, Y857, 0Y22 and W47173.
All the birds had been ringed by members of Sorby Breck Ringing Group. W47173 was ringed 1836 days ago, on 24th August 2018 at Harold Park, West Yorkshire, as a 3 (born that year), and had moved 73km.
W47173
Y204 had been ringed, 1476 days ago, on 19th August 2019, also as a 3, in Pontefract Park, West Yorkshire, 50km away.
I'll update the details of the other birds, when I receive them.
