Whooper Swan (juvenile) (Cygnus cygnus)

Birding the garden has been great, but after three days I was beginning to go a bit 'stir-crazy' so I dug the car out of the snow and headed down to the harbour. Very pleased to see two adults and this youngster in addition to the usual Mute Swans!

What a lovely bird to find on your escape Chris LOL

It's always nice to see a youngster coming along, isn't it! A super picture - well done lad.

Suppose we might get some snow here this week unfortunately!

A very healthy looking juve Chris. Always pleasing to see. Do your Whoopers also come from Scandinavia & do they stay till Spring? Great image well taken & tfs.
