The Whooper Swan's call is actually a distinctive honk 📯 In a few weeks' time our estuaries and wetlands will begin to see the arrival of large flocks of swans and geese. Travelling from breeding grounds in Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland and Siberia, these highly vocal birds often congregate together in mixed flocks and, though not as pretty as the dawn chorus, create a seasonal soundscape that will continue throughout winter. 🔊 Sound recording by Richard Ridgway, 1979.
