"The swans have caused a rise in general interest in Wells and we've had in excess of 10,000 people visiting. It was good for local commerce and industry.
"It was excellent to be able to help local organisations.
"If you're a mathematician and you work out how many swans there were and what was raised you see that each one raised £2,000 just by sitting there.
"Being able to give to these good causes gave me, personally, a real feel good factor.
"I want to thank so many people and businesses that gave their time for free.
"I also want to thank my family who were very supportive. My wife was a swan widow for a while."
