Mute Swan
Compare Mute, Bewick and Whooper Swan's beeks here
An almost fully grown cygnet.
Mute Swans look so serene.
Serene or not they can be aggressive.
This one takes a dim view of another in its territory.
After a hard preening session all a cygnet wants to do is sleep.
Birds are living dinosaurs and looking at this it is not difficult to believe.
