MUTE SWANS, COB & PEN

A pair of mute swans by the canal near Frampton-on-Severn


The male, or cob, has a slightly bigger black knob at the base of the bill than his mate, the pen.

They do not hoot or whistle like bewicks or whooper swans but the sound of their wings as they fly by is very evocative.
