Bewick's Swan at Par beach pool compared to the Stithians birds

Adult bewick's Swan at Par beach pool



Every Bewick's Swan has a different bill pattern, similar to a human finger print.





These three adults (above)  and fourth adult below, are part of the original flock of eight at Stithians Res.  A close look at the bill pattern shows the Par bird to be a different individual.  There is a unique black mark on the Par bird's bill not shown in any of the adults above.
