: Very interesting post Parteegirl - and a great change of pace.:) In case the answer isn't immediately forthcoming you can always check with the Royal Authority on swans: David Barber, the Queen's Swan Marker. He'll be somewhere on the Thames during the 3rd week of July doing his annual swan Upping. Another impeccable source might be the Swan Warden: Professor Christopher Perrins of Oxford University.
: And don't forget congratulations to HM the Queen on the occasion of her golden jubilee.
