But why do you think it's a she? I followed this pair of swans closely for a few months and this guy was considerably bigger than the other one, so I assumed it was the male. Are there other ways to distinguish between the genders?
Here's a close-up of a Cob
It's the same swan to the left and I used to recognise him by the little black dot at the lower part of his head. Quite an aggressive guy, by the way. The Pen to the right was much friendlier and spent most of her time nesting and later taking care of the Cygnets they got. Apart from that, the difference in size was the best way I could distinguish between the two individuals.
All the ones I've seen have large one, some coming over the nasal apertures.
Extremely well shot, Really beautiful
Hope you have a nice week!
