ABOUT THE PHOTO
This photo is taken by Leif Liss
The Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus), known as Sångsvan in Swedish, is a large, elegant waterbird with a long neck and a striking yellow-and-black beak. It is commonly found in the lakes and wetlands of Dalarna, Sweden, where it breeds in calm, secluded waters. Known for its loud, trumpet-like calls, the Whooper Swan is a symbol of Nordic nature and a beloved sight during migration seasons, as flocks gather on the region’s lakes before continuing their journey.
