July 19, 2017 - London, London, UK - A group of nine Cygnet Swans waiting to be counted and recorded. Swan Upping takes place on the River Thames near Windsor, Berkshire, UK. The annual event dates from medieval times, when The Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans which were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts. Today, the cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) photography contest, Britain - 04 Jan 2012

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

Swan Upping dates from medieval times, when The Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans which were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts. Today, the cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week.

Sleepy swan cygnet cuddles up to its mom at Abbotsbury, Dorset, Britain - 18 May 2011

Swan Flake
This sleepy cygnet looks the picture of contentment after snuggling up to his mum after flaking out for a snooze.
While his brothers and sisters slept under their mother's protective wing, the adorable creature had wiggled his way up for some fresh air.
The cute sight was captured on camera by photographer Jacky Parker at Abbotsbury on Chesil beach in Dorset.
The 53-year-old, from Iver, Bucks, said: "Both were fast asleep. It was rather sweet.
"This little cygnet was one of five who had been sleeping underneath their mother's wings.
"He had popped his head up and appeared to sleep there for quite a while.
"They weren't at all bothered by me being there. They were so adorable, I just wanted to take them home."
There are currently 900 swans and 150 nests at Abbotsbury.
Cygnets began hatching two weeks earlier than usual this year due to the unseasonably warm weather and, as legend has it, this could mean we're in for a hot month.
