Thanks David for all your work on the chatline, much appreciated.
It seems that this email I sent on 19th Nov did not make it to the archives, so presumably not to anyone, so I resend, and also this will be my first email to the new address ... finger crossed 🤞
Cheers,
Christine ...
ps the two adult swans are CDN and CZC.

Hi all,
thanks Jon for all the information, and i think we would all be interested to hear some results from your study.
thanks to everyone who replied to my original email.
this morning I was at the pond, and watched all four swans upending, and all of them were using both legs with no difficulty, so all is good there.
Cheers,
Christine.

Hi all,
The project is ongoing and looking at the breeding biology of the species, Comparing results between the ACT and QLD birds.
I’d be really happy to receive any resightings of birds and what they’re doing. The codes are 3 character codes to identify individuals and I can provide the banding details of any birds.
Also happy to return to a COG meeting when they recommence and share some results to follow on from the talk I gave last year.
I’m travelling for the next few weeks so will be away from email till early December.
Kind regards
Jon

This fellow is a Queenslander doing research on swans in Canberra. I'm not sure if his project is complete or not.

I observed a banded Black Swan at Lake Tuggeranong on 21 April 2020 and sent the details of the bands to the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme. The reply from the project officer informed me that it was banded
11 months and 17 days prior to my sighting and had moved a distance of 2km with a bearing of 39 degrees. The bird was banded by Dr J T Coleman.
Hi Lindsay,
I’d say every swan I have seen in the last perhaps 12 months, from Gungahlin, Lake Ginninderra, Commonwealth Park, Jerrabomberra , Lake Tuggeranong, has had a red band on their leg, sometimes also an older silver band on the other
leg.
I’ve also wondered about this project.
Interesting. Our resident pair of swans on Lake Jerrabomberra (only recently arrived) are both banded. A few days ago a second pair arrived and challenged the residents. The male of that pair was also banded (BJ0 red left leg and
silver on right leg). Not sure about the female.
Regards
Lindsay Hansch

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Swan banding project
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me with info about a Swan banding project, or with what might have happened to the swan in the attached photo.
Over the past couple of months I have noticed that swans around canberra have been acquiring bling, so I assume someone is doing a study of some kind.
Today I was watching a swan at Franklin, and noticed that it was only using one leg.
I watched for a while trying to see what was going on,and thought that the swan had lost a leg. But then, of course, the Swan swam to the other end of the pond. Eventually it came back, and soon started up-ending to forage on the bottom
of the pond. After a while I determined that the leg was actually still there - I think.
If anyone can provide any information on who is doing the study, or if there is a need to get wildlife rescue involved please let me know. I would assume that if the swan cannot use one leg it would not be able to get onto dry land etc,
though it seems fine in the water.
