SWAN UPPING




 


Swanning along, swans on the Thames have their yearly health check today. 

No idea how they manage that: they are powerful birds, always on the move. 

It is a tradition going back a thousand years and is called Swan Upping. 

The swans are the property of the Sovereign, now King Charles III.

Swans used to be a delicacy, but now they are carefully protected.
