Whooper Swan 21/10/10

One lone adult braving the elements in gale force winds at Ringstone this afternoon.



Interesting that the head and neck are still stained brown at this time of the year, is this to do with the terrain on their breeding grounds?

your probably right about the staining, we saw a lot of breeding pairs in Iceland on smallish pools and they often had brownish staining on the heads
