Painted Whooper - a photo on Flickriver

Painted Whooper

            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.
