Glasgow - Hogganfield Loch
Adult Whooper Swan (Cygnus Cygnus) at Hogganfield Loch in Hogganfield Park, a Glasgow City Council local nature reserve. This location is very suitable for urban birding, with a great variety of species arriving each season. Up to 22 Whooper Swans and two cygnets were here in the winter of 2010-11. In comparison with a Mute swan (Cygnus olor), as well as the difference in their beak colour, it can also be observed that they have a longer straighter neck.
