‘Swan Upping’ is the term used to describe the annual census of the swan population on a particular stretch of the River Thames. Having had a primarily ceremonial function when the tradition was begun over 900 years ago, it’s now come to play a significant role in wildlife conservation. This year, however, the historic summer event is one of a slew of many that has been cancelled amid the crisis.
