David Knowles has recently returned from his travels along the river Thames from Windsor to Henley. He has collected a series of images including Swan upping at Henley, where he was in position to see the full capture , documentation, measurement and release of a family of swans. Swan Upping is carried out during the third week of July and is carried out to allow the Queen to exercise her right to ownership of all unmarked swans. Her majesty also allows the Dyers and Vintners companies to exercise their rights as given to them to mark swans. Marking now is limited to ringing; not the historical practice of cutting notches in the swans bill.
