Migrating swans

While photographing the dramatic waves on Diamond Beach, Iceland, it was a thrill hear honking sounds and to look up and see a V formation of migrating Whooping swans (Cygnus cygnus) overhead. They return to Iceland in the spring, migrating from Europe.

    Great timing to capture the swans in their migration position as they fly across the sky.

    What a sight! I saw Whooping Swans in the Netherlands years ago, but none since. To see a whole flock--I'd be in heaven!!
