for those interested i thought id share the information i just got back from reporting the colour ringed mute swan that was in jacksons landing late november below is the email
SKU was ringed as a female cygnet at Studley Royal Park on the 31st of August 2003. Yours is the first re-sighting of the bird since that time so is of particular interest.
Could you post more details of who ringed this as I saw SPP & SPY over in the Lakes just over a month ago and despite posting on the BTO channels I haven't received any confirmation that my sightings have got to the the right person.

hi dave
im not sure who ringed the bird but there is a website that gives all the contact details of who to report colour ringed birds too.
http://www.cr-birding.be/
you click on species and colour of ring too obtain the correct person to contact via email however im not sure how up to date the website is as when i got a reply it was from another person who had my email forwarded too him with a note saying that the person listed on the website emigrated too australia some years ago !
if you would still like the email address of the person who provided me the information then let me know and il pm it too you
