Bewick
Connoisseur of WTL
Confident this is a whooper swan and so is my dad however the rather short looking neck is causing me to be a little hesitant to report it as one without first getting further opinions- its forehead looks also quite steep. I would expect a Bewick to have much more black on the bill which this bird seems to lack, lighting was bad and I couldn't make much out with my binoculars except from that it was either a whoopers or a Bewick.
Edit- bird was completely alone- the area I bird doesn't have any lakes.
