"A census of the swan population on the River Thames, will be conducted by the queen's official Swan Marker from July 20-24. (With the assistance of the Queen's Swan Warden.)""This year, the Swan Marker and the Swan Warden are particularly keen to discover how much damage is being caused to swans and cygnets by attacks from dogs and from discarded fishing tackle."
In a related tradition, they do the same thing with cats in October, as led by the queen's royal and ancient Pussy Warden, who is, if I recall correctly, Hugh Grant.
