Voluntary social isolation one day or two, to work with pictures and more goes well, but a forced one feels much worse. Maybe because we don't know how long the insulation will last.
Take care everyone
BTW Whoopers have arrived now to Sweden, coming in thousends.

A powerful spectacle
The lake Tysslingen is the largest gathering place for whooper swans in Sweden.Here lands each spring, thousands of swans in their journey north. Every year it attracts powerful drama about 30,000 visitors from all over Europe. Maybe you know the difference between whooper and mute sawn? Whooper is easy to recognize that it has a straight neck and are singing (read trumpets) when it flies.
If you are lucky you can during the Whooper season see more than 4000 Whooper in one day.
The highlight tend to be in the middle of March.
In the small village at the lake, organized art exhibitions, open café, there are lectures on birds.
Also are Whooper daily counting and reported on the website.
I used the previous image and some textures from Jai Johnson.

The Whooping Crane is the tallest bird in North America. These birds migrate to the Texas Coastal Bend on the Gulf Coast for the winters.
The whooper swan, also known as the common swan, is a large northern hemisphere swan. It is the Eurasian counterpart of the North American trumpeter swan.
Size is similar to the Mute Swan, but there are noticeable differences : a yellow and black beak, a more rigid neck bearing in activiy as well as at rest, and finally, their wings produce a musical sound when they fly.
Whooper swans pair for life, and their cygnets stay with them all winter; they are sometimes joined by offspring from previous years.
A wild Whooping Crane dancing - the colors on the top of the legs are transmitters that track their migration paths! Like how they chose colors to match its head! You can even see the antenna.
A few of my own textures were added!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Whooper Swan, taken on a Northumberland lake
This wild bird is the only Whooper amongst many Mute Swans
A pair of endangered whooping cranes (Grus americana, Gruidae) forage in a snow covered field in central Wisconsin. The birds migrated south some days after I captured this image in mid November.
Notice that one of the individuals does not have leg tags. It is one of the few wild reared birds of the Wisconsin flock.

Whooper swans (cygnus cygnus) spend most of their time in subarctic waters of the Northern Hemisphere, where they breed. As it might tell from their wings they are powerful in flight. Each winter they migrate south in large flocks, flying hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles. Those which arrive in Ireland and Britain come from Iceland. They announce their presence in the estuaries and wetlands where they settle with a deep honking sound.
Some interesting facts:
1. Finland's national bird
2. They pair for life
3. Among heaviest bird in flight
4. Fly at altitudes up to 8,000 ft
Whooper swan making itself heard! Taken in Regents Park, have not seen one here for ages.
The whooper swan is a large white swan, bigger than a Bewick's swan. It has a long thin neck, which it usually holds erect, and black legs. Its black bill has a large triangular patch of yellow on it. It is mainly a winter visitor to the UK from Iceland, although a couple of pairs nest in the north. The estuaries and wetlands it visits on migration and for winter roosts need protection. Its winter population and small breeding numbers make it an Amber List species.
Die Singschwäne sind Wintergäste aus dem hohen Norden die bei uns rasten und sind gut an ihrem gelb/schwarzen Schnabel zu erkennen. Besonders beeindruckend ist es aber, ihrem Tuten zuzuhören.
The Whooper Swans are winter guests from the far north. They are easily to identify by their yellow/black beaks. But it is especially impressive to hear their noise.
a lake near Fiskebol on the Lofoten island of Austvagoya where we saw plenty of beautiful whooper swans going about their business. Such a beautiful sight after days and days of snow and ice!

The Whooper Swans found in winter time in Hokkaido spend most of the year in the Russian Arctic and migrate to Japan to escape the freezing Arctic winter temperatures. They arrive in Japan in late autumn just before the 1st snow has hit the ground, and they depart in late winter before the snow leaves the ground.
