note 2 : Our Thanks. We thank all observers for taking the time to report their detailed observations of colour-ringed swans. Without this valuable information it would not be possible to follow the movements of individual birds. The Swan Supporters' interest in the migratory Bewick's and Whooper Swans helps directly with the long-term study of the species and we are extremely grateful to you all for your continued support. The Bewick's and Whooper Swan research programmes have, once again, received support from the Peter Scott Trust for Education and Research in Conservation, with a view to continuing the studies of swans on their breeding grounds. The Bewick's Swan study is undertaken in collaboration with the All Russian Research Institute for Nature Protection. Whooper Swan research in Iceland is conducted in collaboration with the Icelandic Institute of Natural History, the University of Reykjavik and Mr Sverrir Thorstensen.
We are grateful to the British Airways Assisting Conservation programme for enabling researchers to travel to study sites overseas.
