Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a database for Mute Swan ringing in the UK? Thanks

If you are talking about colour rings then CR Birding is the place.

What we are really after is a database with BTO numbers and Darvic numbers. A database that gives the swans Darvic or BTO number detail. I am part of a group who look after local swans and other wildlife and when the cygnets are ringed, we were just wondering if there is a database where the ring numbers are kept. Thanks

Demography online. Or DemOn for short. We ringers enter all our bird ringing data on it. Not sure whether it has general access to all others...

It seems you need to be a ringer to create an account, so I guess the answer is no?

Not difficult to find the scheme, with a bit of filtering, on CR Birding. Choosing the colour of the ring as a starter does reduce the options considerably.

Just talk to your friendly local swan ringer! We can assist rescuers over the phone if they need urgent info on where best to release a swan that is ringed and therefore has a history. But we always ask that these encounters are reported by the rescuer on www.ring.ac so that the information is added to the BTO database. Unfortunately, not all swan rescue organisations do report rings so the full benefit of the work they do is often underestimated.

If you email Tony Cross (I think it's Tony) at the email address in the link he should be able to tell you.
