Bird of the Day: Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus) #birdoftheday #botd #whooperswan #cygnuscygnus #birdsoftheworld #birds #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer

A large all-white swan swimming on calm rippled blue water, facing left in profile, with an upright elongated neck, a distinctive yellow-and-black bill, and its pale form softly reflected in the water below. Text on card: One of the largest and heaviest flying birds in the world, the Whooper Swan breeds across the boreal zone from Iceland and northern Scotland east through Scandinavia and Russia to eastern Siberia, wintering on coastal estuaries, flooded grassland, and sheltered bays in Britain and Ireland, the Low Countries, Japan, and Korea. It is distinguished from the familiar Mute Swan by its long, straight neck held erect rather than curved, its flat-based yellow-and- black bill without a knob, and above all by its deeply resonant, bugling calls - the "whooping" that gives the species its name - delivered in flight and on the water. Pairs mate for life, and family groups remain together on their wintering grounds, the young birds gradually acquiring pure white plumage through th first winter. 📷: Photo by Estormiz via Wikimedia Commons (CCO 1.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cygnus_cygnus_Oulu_20240414_02.jpg

In December 1967 a pilot over the Hebrides met a flock of whooper swans at 27,000 feet. That is airliner height. It stands among the highest flights ever logged for any bird.
