The reserves of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Britain are important for Bewick's and Whooper Swans. It is often considered a subspecies of C. columbianus, creating the species Tundra Swan.

Hello,
Tout simplement magnifique..., rien d'autre à ajouter. Samuel

Beautiful image, Dorota!
I like the color of sunsetting light (I guess it was taken at a sunset rather than sunrise) in swans' wings and reflected on the ice surface, good composition even though the birds are swimming away and just the right exposure showing good detail of the main subject. Pozdrowienia,
Marek
