The Bewick's Swan and the Whooper Swan are two species of swans found in Eurasia. The Bewick's Swan is smaller, with a distinctive yellow patch on its bill, and is known for its migratory behavior between breeding grounds in Siberia and wintering areas in Europe. The Whooper Swan is larger, with a more extensive yellow area on its bill, and is known for its loud, trumpeting calls. Both species are admired for their beauty and grace, often seen in wetlands and lakes.
Swan
The mute swan has an orange beak once fully adult, as compared to the other two species native to the UK, the Bewick and the Whooper swans. The Bewick has a predominantly yellow beak and the whooper has a black beak with a strong yellow triangular section. When cygnets, the mute swan is grey in colour and has a black beak which only becomes orange after losing its cygnet feathers and reaching maturity.
