Every now and again we look for rings on the swans at Windsor. A few years ago this was mainly Darvics with a very few metal rings. Nowadays the darvics are fewer and fewer, althouth we did find most of the regulars including P2V, L3F, L3T - black on white with 29C, a very timid bird that took some time to read the complete ring as the number is printed around, rather than along the ring. There were three black on orange rings, 841,4ARJ, 4AZS, known to be from Mike Reed's study,relatively local to our area. There were were another 30 or so metal rings read, many familiar numbers but a few new ones too.
Favourites rings of the day were on a couple of Black-headed gulls.
