Swan Upping

Staines, Middx. Mon 15 Jul 2013

 

 
 The Uppers wait to enter Penton Hook Look

 

 The boat with the Queen's Swan Master

 

 Vintner's Royalty in white, their master in a blazer

A swan with 3 cygnets are under the railway bridge 

We waved to bring the Queens Swan Warden over 

and then the swan uppers approach 

 

bringing their boats around to encircle the swans - including a stray one at left 

 

The boats from a tight line with no clear water so the swan can't escape
