Young mute swan

Young mute swan

I encountered this young swan in Dungannon Park, Northern Ireland.

Mute Swans are entirely white with a bill that is orange with a black base.

Young swans (cygnets) may be dusky brown-gray all over, with a gray-black bill.

A male swan is called a Cob.

The female is called a Pen and the young of the year are called cygnets (pronounced 'sig-net).
