2017-01-15 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark A pair. Characteristic with the yellow on the bill ending in a point long down the bill. Contrary to Bewick's Swan where the yellow ends in a vertical line around the nostrils. Common winter visitor in Denmark. Notice the bright iris on the close up bird. Uncommon? Can't find any information online about this - also Reeber in the new waterfowl book doesn't mention anything about it. |

2021-11-10 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark One juvenile and 9 adults. When coming this close there shouldn't be any problems separating whoopers from tundras. |

2021-11-10 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Second calendar year. Two different birds. Tinted coverts indicating the age of both. They came the three of them together, whereas two of them continued southwest after taking this photos, and one of them made a left turn and probably landed to rest in front of Kongelunden. |

2021-11-29 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Villahøj. Different adult and juvenile birds. Also with adult and juvenile Mute Swans and 3 Mallards. Good numbers passing through these days, as the Siberian winds start to caress our bare-shaven puberty skins. I wish. |

2023-11-18 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Adult. Sydtårn. Frost migration. It was relatively cold last night why geese and swans were in the air today seeking warmer grounds. |

2023-11-18 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Adult. Sydtårn. Here it is easy to see that the tail is short and barely reaches the tip of the feet, a trait of the yellow-billed swans. |
