A ringed mute swan was spotted in Stockholm Strom on 26 February. I submitted a recovery form to Bird Ringing Centre at Swedish Museum of Natural History and Euring. Today I recieved the ring recovery report from Swedish Museum of Natural History. The swan has been recovered many times around Stockholm area (travel farthest to Skarholmen, 15 km/255°) since it was ringed in 2002. It was also recorded that the swan lived together with a male and 4 kids in 2005-2006.
