	Swan Upping Shepperton to Staines. Monday 18 July 2011
	The swans are on private land on the other side of the backwater so we can't get a good view The uppers come back and go into Penton Hook lock The Queen's Swan Warden and his colleagues in the 'Royal Swan' usually go ahead of the uppers and spot the swans A few local residents come ourt with flags to wave at the uppers One of the large herds of unpaired swans on the Thames
	The uppers approach a female swan looking after six cygnets at Staines The swan and cygnets move out into the river, but two skiffs go past to turn them back and others come up to begin to surround them The boats carefully close in, filling the gaps between them
