Species List : Mute Swan Cygnus olor
Scarce during summer. A few flocks can be seen flying by in May and in June. These non-breeding birds sometimes stay for a while.
In winter larger numbers are seen flying southwards when arctic winds force them to. Some winters many weakened Mute Swans remain near the shores and stay until they die. These dead birds can be seen long afterwards on the shores.
