Whooper Swan - Cygnus cygnus


The Whooper (pronounced 'hooper') Swan - Cygnus cygnus - also known as the Common Swan, is a large Swan which migrates to Britain from Iceland during the winter months, although just a few pairs do breed in the north of the UK. Very similar to, but larger than, the Bewicks Swan, they mainly eat aquatic plants and grass but will also take grain and even potatoes. They pair for life with the cygnets staying with the parents throughout the winter, even sometimes being joined by brothers or sisters from previous years. They are very noisy and have a loud honking call. Seen enjoying the winter sun with Coots and Mallards at Martin Mere Wetlands Center.
