Carlton Marsh

Our resident pair of Mute Swans arrived here on March 15th and produced 2 cygnets both of which perished during the summer monsoon.  Both adults were already ringed, data recently received from the BTO reveals the origins of both birds.

The male ZY0122 was ringed as a first year (sex unknown) on 17-10-2008 at or near Grimethorpe.

The female ZZ9816 Red Darvic ring Y216 (left leg) was ringed as a 2 years old female on 2/7/2007 at Pugneys Country Park. 

Both birds were ringed by the Sorby Breck Ringing Group.
