Note the difference between this "Singing Swan" and the Mute Swan (Knoppsvane), often seen in parks. The other bird has a 'bump' on the beak, and does not sing. This difference is accentuated somehow differently in different languages.
(Knoppsvane / Sangsvane, MuteSwan/ .., Cygne tubercule/ Cygne chanteur).
The birds in the photo were seen in a lake near Bergen. There were about 50 swans in the lake,
beautiful view!
Best regards,
Hans
