The Swan Pipe is a cage for trapping and ringing swans at WWT(Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust) Caerlaverock in Dumfriesshire. Mute Swans (Cygnus olor), Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) can be seen in this photo, but the main trapping done is of wild Whooper Swans. The swans are regularly fed inside the cage to accustom them so that they can later be trapped more easily and ringed.
