Starting mute swans from a pond

---

Starting mute swans from a pond. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Measuring 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange beak bordered with black. It's weight is about ten up to 14 kilograms. During the start and the flight you can hear a quite loud hum over a long distance.
