The Mute Swan

Swan

Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' close relatives include the geese and ducks. Swans usually mate for life, though 'divorce' does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure.

Swan

Swan Upping is the annual census of the swan population on stretches of the Thames in the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. This historic ceremony dates from the twelfth century, when the Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans. At that time swans were regarded as a delicious dish at banquets and feasts.

The Coypu and the Duck

22.04

The coypu, also known as the river rat, and nutria, is a large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodent. Originally native to subtropical and temperate South America, it has since been introduced to North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, primarily by fur ranchers (pretty much everywhere except the really cold places). Its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviors make this invasive species a pest throughout most of its range.
