About the species Mute swan

About the species

A large white waterbird that nests by slow waters, reservoirs and ponds with vegetation.

Where to find it by the water

Ponds, lakes, reservoirs and slow rivers, often in towns. Nests on the bank in the reeds.

What this means for anglers

During nesting it can defend itself against attacks, so do not approach the nest and young. Tangled line and hooks are dangerous to birds, so leave the bank clean.
