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.

The Swan Pipe is a cage for trapping and ringing swans at WWT(Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust) Caerlaverock in Dumfriesshire. Mute Swans (Cygnus olor), Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) can be seen in this photo, but the main trapping done is of wild Whooper Swans. The swans are regularly fed inside the cage to accustom them so that they can later be trapped more easily and ringed.
