This week the annual census of the swan population on the River Thames, known as "Swan Upping" has been taking place.

It began yesterday in Sunbury, Surrey and will end at Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire on Friday. Originally it began as a ceremonial exercise but has now become an important element of wildlife conservation.

A flotilla of traditional Thames rowing skiffs, manned by Swan Uppers in scarlet rowing shirts and headed by The Queen’s Swan Marker row their way steadily up the Thames.

The Swan Uppers weigh and measure the cygnets and check them for any signs of injury, commonly caused by fishing hooks and line.

caturraalison Sadly I believe the numbers of swans ? in Berkshire will be down this year as people wasn’t feeding them over confusion of what they was allowed to feed them, unfortunately lots of our beautiful swans was starving. I would like to see more advertising on feeding guidelines available for people.. so sad ?

sallybrit I lived in Reading, Berks on river and they had a lot of swans swallowing fishing hooks back in the day - swans can be mean and that is coming from someone that grew up with peacocks ?- love what they are doing!

bonnie_lilwolf_pattersontaylor Even I knew from my younger teens and being from the USA that the swans belonged to the Queen of England (am 62. Now) we were taught that at our zoo in my state

lenst78 We visited Oxford on Monday and this person got too close to a mama and her babies and was hissed at....glad it wasn’t me ? ❤️

shepherd4405 Numbers sadly reduced due to some less than honest eastern Europeans who have been killing them for food. So sad ☹️
