Peter, just received this information about one of your Swans from Dan Sidley Founder of Yorkshire Swan Rescue

Mute Swan red darvic ring Y846 was ringed at the Heronry on 18/8/2011 (not sexed) with an unrung male.

I read its ring number on 28/3/2013 at Anglers and it was still there on 20/5/13 when it was standing beside another bird presumably a female on a nest in front of the hide.
