A lamentation of swans
I went to check what the group name for swans was, assuming it to be a 'gaggle'. Well, according to 'answers.com', it appears that "A group of swans is called a bevy, lamentation, herd, game, team or wedge (flying in a "V" formation)". I know you shouldn't trust everything you read on the internet, so I double-checked.
Wikipedia listed a "wedge, bank, bevy, whiteness, gargle and eyrar".
I also found anything from a "ballet" to a "regatta".
English can be a funny old language!
