Geographic Range
Mute swans breed in the British Isles, north central Europe and north central Asia. They winter as far south as North Africa, the Near East, and to northwest India and Korea. They have been successfully introduced in North America, where they are a widespread species and permanent residents in many areas.

Habitat
Mute swans are the most common swans in the wild, in parks or on country estates in their native range. In winter, they are more common on marine waters. They live in well-sheltered bays, open marshes, lakes, and ponds.

Hi Gert,

I love the pose - he must have an itch. Nice colors and details. They are so beautiful and he shows off very well on the green grass.

Hi Gert,
That's a beautiful pose by the swan. The grass and flowers around give it a good ambiance. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
