Since the 12th century, when roast swan was considered a delicacy, officials have gone 'swan-upping,' catching the graceful creatures by lifting them out of the water to weigh, mark and cout them. Today, swans are no longer eaten in large numbers and upping swans has become more of a ceremonial census. (AP Photo/Dave Caulkin)
