Marking Ceremony in Guildhall<\/a> yard, other Footprints guides (Anne Tickell, Kathryn Prevezer, Elaine Wein and myself) were entranced by the Swan Upping taking place on the Thames.<\/p>\n<p>Swan Upping dates back to the twelfth century and is an annual census of the swans on the Thames.\u00a0 The name may derive from the cry of \u201cAll-Up\u201d on the sighting of a brood of cygnets (young swans).\u00a0 Swans were highly prized at great banquets and the Crown claimed ownership of all swans on open water.\u00a0 Over the centuries the Crown granted right of ownership to some aristocratic families, to institutions and to guilds (livery companies).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/swan-upping-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3064\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/swan-upping-6-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"swan upping\" width=\"640\" height=\"444\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These rights were maintained and asserted by the annual ceremony of Swan Upping \u2013 adult swans were caught by the monarch\u2019s swan warden, beaks inspected for ownership marks and then the same marks would be cut on the beaks of the cygnets.\u00a0 (You may have noticed pubs on the Thames called \u201cThe Swan with the Two Necks\u201d and with appropriate pictures of two-headed swans.\u00a0 This is probably a corruption of \u201cthe swan with two nicks\u201d i.e. two notches cut in its beak.)<\/p>\n<p>Last year I visited the excellent Royal River exhibition at the National Maritime Museum and was intrigued by the Register of Gylde Haule of Windesore \u2013 a seventeenth century copy of a swan roll from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.\u00a0 Surprisingly, over 900 different marks are recorded, some complex and based on the owner\u2019s coat of arms, some simple nicks.\u00a0 Severe punishments were meted out to those caught falsely marking birds, or stealing eggs \u2013 or even for simply carrying a swan hook!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/swan-upping-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3065\"

as a food declined during the nineteenth century, and domestic poultry became plentiful, many people let their rights to swan ownership lapse.\u00a0 Today only the Vintners and Dyers livery companies maintain their rights to own swans on the Thames alongside the Queen.\u00a0 The annual ceremony is an important annual census for conservation and welfare; thankfully, the practice of notching beaks is no longer carried out \u2013 instead the swans are ringed on their legs with ownership tags.<\/p>\n<p>Swan Upping takes place in the third week of July each year and the anticipated timetable is published on the royal website <a href=\"wlmailhtml:{BF8DD586-D029-48B4-AEF3-B1CDDA07AEB2}mid:\/\/00000199\/!x-usc:http:\/\/www.royal.gov.uk\/\">www.royal.gov.uk<\/a> and on the Vintners website www.vintnershall.co.uk.\u00a0 This year the programme started at 9.00 am on Monday 14<sup>th<\/sup> July and finished on Friday lunchtime at Clifton Hampden Bridge.\u00a0 My friends and I decided to watch on the beautiful stretch of river just downstream of Hambledon Lock at lunchtime on Wednesday.\u00a0 We were very lucky to find a peaceful place to sit on the riverbank and watch the ducks and one family of swans.<\/p>\n<p>The first boat to approach the swans appeared to be an advance guard of conservationists \u2013 having fed the swans and seen the cygnets they returned downstream with the news of another family found.\u00a0 We then watched as the six skiffs (rowing boats) of the swan uppers arrived \u2013 two flying the Dyers Royalty flag, two with the Vintners Royalty flag and two royal skiffs which each had a flag front (bow) and back (stern).\u00a0 They quickly manoevered their boats to pen the swans in against the river bank and efficiently caught the birds and tied their legs together.\u00a0 Once their legs were tied the swans were very quiet \u2013 apparently they are caught at this time of year as they are unable to fly &#8211; the adults are moulting and the cygnets do not yet have flight feathers.<\/p>\n<p>Once caught, the swans were brought up onto the riverbank where their numbers were recorded and they were weighed and checked for injury before the cygnets were ringed.\u00a0 Then all the birds were released back into the river.\u00a0 We were delighted to have watched this all happen in a peaceful place as just upstream at the lock lots of people were waiting to watch the swan uppers \u2013 not to mention the liverymen and their guests who followed the progress from larger boats and were all moored at the lock, adding to the crowds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/doggetts-coat-and-badge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large
