B11: Invasive Species - Mute Swan Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The A-Team: I stopped by today to fix this up, but it was in pretty poor condition. It seems to get found my muggles fairly frequently, so I decided to archive it. Since this is part of a series, I've added the number from this cache to the B11: Invasive Species Final description so cachers can still find the final.

Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series highlighting invasive species in the CRD. Many of these species are now so common, you probably see them every day. Some are damaging, others are a nuisance, but none are native to Victoria. Each cache will contain one digit in the coordinates for the final, GC2VRDP.
All caches are 1 litre, 5”x8”x2.5” Lock’n’Locks.


Mute Swan
Latin name: Cygnus olor
Native region: Europe, Western Asia
Introduced region: North America
Reason for introduction: Ornamental value
Threats: Dislodging three times the amount of aquatic vegetation they ingest, aggressive territorial behaviour

If you spot a swan in Greater Victoria, odds are it's a Mute Swan. You may see the occasional visiting Trumpeter Swan, but the smaller Mute Swan is the most prevalent.
