Kloo-kloo-kloo...!!! Whooper Swans / Laulujoutsenet

Whooper swans are very noisy, the voice is strident: kloo-kloo-kloo...

 

They are large: a length of 140–165 cm (55–65 in) and a wingspan of 205–275 cm (81–108 in).

 

They can be distinguished from Bewick swans by their larger size, and from mute swans by their yellow bill colour.

Whooper swans despite their size, are powerful fliers.

 

The whooper swan is the national bird of Finland and is featured on the Finnish 1 euro coin. :-)
