🌍🌏 Whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) The whooper swan, also known as the common swan, is a large, striking white swan found across a large part of Eurasia, with a long, erect neck and black legs. Its black bill features a prominent triangular yellow patch. During winter, whooper swans are social, forming flocks in wetlands, estuaries, and fields, feeding on aquatic plants, and grains. They are vocal, with a distinctive "whooping" call. In flight, they often form a 'V' shape. They are monogamous, and pairs engage in courtship displays.
