Swarovski Dancing Swan Ring 5520712 White, Rhodium Plating

Product Information

This curvaceous ring is called the Swan due to the ‘S’ flows up and around the stone. The ring shank sweeps up and curves around the central gemstone. Areas or counties (Ireland) in which the greatest number of individuals of each species were ringed in the current year The rings can be particularly usefull, especially in our parts around Worcestershire as a swan rescue group, as we are able to identify which pairs are which, where a swan may have come from, and what they have previously been rescued for (if it is the case). My intention was to create contemporary, simple, and fun rings where you can choose two different designs and be able to wear them in more than one way. Ringing data make a major contribution to the study of population changes and to our understanding of species declines. Bird populations are determined by the number of fledglings raised and the survival of both juveniles and adults.

View ringing totals by area or county for the current year, sorted either alphabetically or by number ringed You may also notice a smaller metal ring on the other leg which is known as a BTO ring. The same goes for these.

So far, we have a variety of unique rings to choose from, starting with the Vermicelli wire collection or rings with a rough-cut gemstone, leading to our nature-inspired collection. But there is always room for a different style, and I can always find time to add something new and fresh, so I present to you the Swan collection. The recent increasing trend for this species has been attributed to the banning of lead weights, with other factors including improvements in water quality and wetland habitats possibly also contributing to the trend. As there are currently no conservations concerns, no specific conservation actions are currently required; however, ongoing local management actions and wider policies to maintain favourable conservation status include ensuring that water quality is monitored, and that suitable good quality wetland habitat is maintained. The use of flight diverters on power lines to make them visible to swans has successful reduced mortality caused by collision with them ( Frost 2008), although there is no evidence that collisions have had an effect at a population level. All records of ringed birds are valuable. Find out more about why you should report a ringed bird and how to do so here. Key information and resources for ringers

It has to be said that many of these rings cause injury to the birds and as the Swan Sanctuary at Egham suggests, these rings should be stopped immediately and old darvic rings removed as a code of practice to prevent any injuries. They also are asking the BTO to justify their ringing of the birds. In Scotland (and presumably elsewhere), the increased autumn sowing of cereals has improved the winter food supply for swans, enabling a higher proportion of birds to survive the winter ( Delany et al. 1992, Ward et al. 2007), although there are no specific analyses to support this. The BTO Ringing Scheme is funded by a partnership of the British Trust for Ornithology, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (on behalf of: Natural England, Natural Resources Wales and NatureScot and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Northern Ireland)), The National Parks and Wildlife Service (Ireland) and the ringers themselves. The Nest Record Scheme is funded by the BTO and JNCC. European longevity records (collated by EURING) - note these estimate the time the bird has been alive
