Of all the sights, I find the most awesome is the yearly migration of whopper swans. They come to Ireland around October and start to leave in March.
Four whooper swans swim away making ripples in the still loch
The swans definitely don’t like having their photo taken.

I managed to miss #Day12 of #12DaysWild, so I'll count this as my #FinalPost of the challenge.
A group of #WhooperSwans, not too far from home. They come every winter, and generally return (to Iceland, I think) sometime in March.
Autumn in Cumbria means one thing… Whooper Swans are on the move! 🦢🍂 Graceful flocks are arriving to spend the winter gracing our lakes and wetlands, a truly magical sight. #Birding #CumbriaBirds #WhooperSwans

The sky is a whirl of clouds and blue and light over the loch and fields.
Be still my heart, a skein of #WhooperSwans flew over, calling as they flew. Alas, no photos as I was transfixed. #uist
Saw my first Whoopers of the season on the outskirts of Galway city this morning, along with a Marsh Harrier (first time this year too). #WhooperSwans #birdmigration #MarshHarrier #Galway
The picture features two elegant Whooper Swans gracefully floating on a calm, reflective body of water. Their white feathers contrast beautifully with the soft blue-gray tones of the water, while their distinctive yellow and black beaks add a striking detail. Tall, slender reeds rise from the water in the foreground, framing the swans and adding a natural border to the scene. The overall atmosphere is serene and peaceful, capturing a moment of tranquility in nature.

Evening, Bluesky flock!
Check out these majestic Whooper Swans I snapped in March 2025, gliding like royalty on the water. Shot with my trusty Canon EOS R50 those details are chef’s kiss!
About twenty whooper swans swimming in single file (or almost) on Loch Long.
Flock of swans flying before a backdrop of fir trees.
Swans flying in a V formation before a hillside with fir trees and, above, grass, heading for the sky (visible in the upper left corner).

A flock (?) of #WhooperSwans came to visit at #LochLong.
A brilliant pale morning sun shines in the blue and silver sky over a shining loch amid grass fields.
As the day passes, a few rain clouds gather and showers fall on the loch.
But the clouds clear, the sky is blue, and the loch fills with swans, local and those just passing through.
It has been a beautiful day and Papa #MuteSwan has spent most of it trying to drive migrating #WhooperSwans from his loch. 🦢#Uist
Such a special sight to enjoy before they begin their long journey! 🦢❄️ Safe travels to these Arctic wanderers. #WhooperSwans #MigrationMagic #BirdWatching

Last night the cloud lifted to reveal an inky-black sky full of stars as whooper swans flew over the garden on their way to nearby wetlands.

Winter birding in spring like conditions in deepest Shropshire. Is there a more evocative sound than wild winter Swans trumpeting to each other? #birding #whooperswans
Lady Fen at WWT Welney Wetland Centre looking a picture in the early morning sunshine yesterday. Several dozen Whooper Swans in residence. Pictured from the Visitor Centre where I was enjoying a cup of coffee ☕️. #welney #thefens #WWT #whooperswans
8 years ago FB Memory, #WhooperSwans arrived in Glasgow’s award winning urban loch & wetlands Hogganfield. The birds come really close to car park as council feed swans. Magical place for #wildlife #wetlandbirds. 🏴
Seeing lots of #whooperswans about. Recorded on #birdtrack
Nice to see the whooper swans back for the winter in this part of the world @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social #whooperswans
#morning in shades of silver. The #WhooperSwans have travelled onwards leaving the #MuteSwans in peaceful possession. #uist
A cloud of #WhooperSwans has drifted through the sunlight to land on the #loch. #Papa #MuteSwan is trying to persuade them to move along! #waterfowl

Here is the sound of several dozen Whooper Swans settling to roost for the night at Hockwold Washes adjacent to @RSPBLakenheath Fen, and a chatty family of Mute Swans a bit closer. Tomorrow it is #WorldWetlandsDay.
