Anyone who has ever been to the south of england will have noticed the numerous ones on the river thames once a year theres a ceremony to find out just how many of them there are swan upping is a custom from the 12th century when the swans were still a popular delicacies to royalty the swans are no longer eat enough course and today the ceremony is directed towards conservation of these beautiful birds. These arent just any swans they are royal swans they belong to Queen Elizabeth the 2nd but at least some of them do just in many belong to the queen is the term and during swan upping a tradition thats much loved by many brits. We just love watching it the ceremony we live in windsor and it just may come out this way to see it happen today they start at some. Times and they come down to melbourne which is about 70 normals so. Its tough its part of the station process it is big. Props on. The tradition of counting swans in the river thames dates back to the 12th century back then people used to serve them up on high days and holidays a delicacy that wasnt reserved for the royals everyone wanted to own swans majesty has the right to claim any swan swimming in open waters and mocked in the United Kingdom the king or the queen gave Royal Charter to many many people and they used to buy them on the beaks so you had this unique mark on the peak and that carried on for years and years and years david barber has been her majestys official swan marker since 1903 they no longer feature on royal menus but every year they are counted on expected the boats and uniforms date back a century. We lift them out of the water we put a toy around their legs and the adults around their wings we will take them ashore we will weigh them we would measure them and we check them for any injuries. Nowadays the young swans are only marked for the gills of butlers and tires. Based on who the birds parents are the royal marker do. Barber decides that they belong to. The mark birds belong to the sovereign. These days the upholding of the tradition is about conservation. In recent years Wendy Hermann has set to rescue a lot of swans. It ranges from fish and injuries doctor to doctor touches. And then the dogs attack. We have. We are shooting people. We have so many injuries people think its not busy but we busy we. To raise awareness about the safety of the swans david barber of this team also speak to schoolchildren who are all ears but even get a chance to stroke the cygnets.
