Mute swant (Cygnus olor) female near a hide at a lake in Warnham nature reserve UK November 2018. White with orange red bill, black at base to eye.

---

The mute swan has a black base to the orange yellow bill that extends to the eye. At the top of the base is a protrusion or knob that is larger on males but small on this female. The tip of the bill is black as is the lower edges and nostrils. This image has a soft focused background ideal for some copy.
