Royal officials clad in scarlet outfits took to the River Thames in traditional boats for the annual 'Swan Upping' ceremony
SHEPPERTON, England - Royal officials clad in scarlet outfits took to the River Thames in traditional boats on Monday for the annual “Swan Upping” ceremony, an 800-year-old tradition of counting the swans owned by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.
“We will lift the whole family out of the water, we will take them ashore, we weigh them, measure them and check them for any injuries,” David Barber, the queen’s Swan Marker, told Reuters. “You have a population of swans that hasn’t changed much since the mid 1800s.” The river was much busier than in the original days of the swan upping and the birds, which are protected by law, were losing their natural nesting grounds, he added.
