Ringer's Challenge

I guess I could have submitted this picture as an ID quiz however to avoid any embarrassment this is one of the two Mute Swans that spent several weeks at Redcar Tarn. On the 14th March I noticed that one of the birds was ringed and so I tried to get a image that might enable the ring details to be read. Sadly this was the best I got and furthermore both birds had departed the following week when better light might have produced a better picture.

So here's the challenge, are there any ringers in the group that might be able to glean any info about the swan from the ring details shown above?
