This year’s swans at Rushcliffe were very successful, the pair raising 8 chicks. Some members of the group went down on Wednesday in an attempt to ring them. We lured them in with food, encircled them, and knelt over them to keep them calm. In total, all 8 chicks were ringed, as well as the adult female. Hopefully these rings will tell us where the swans travel to and how long they live.
