Neck-banded Black Swans - and readable leg-bands

["michael norris" <>]

Mainly for the Melbourne area

Black Swans have been banded with neck bands (or broad leg bands with 
easily-read numbers) for at least two years during the study based at Albert 
Park.  Martin O'Brien gave the URL which indicates that it has yielded 
interesting information on fidelity.

The main contact is Patrick-Jean Guay   

He recently wrote "Please keep on sending me and my supervisor Raoul Mulder 
 any records of Swans with either colour leg bands or 
neck collars".
Re Peter Shute's enquiry, I have not checked with them how they liaise with 
the ABBS.
