Media notes
Prior to my starting to record, the bird made more sounds, which were lost. It was floating on the water when it made the calls. There were no other Mute Swans on this little lake, although there were six on a nearby lake. Traffic and wind noise unavoidable.
Observation details
Sleeping when I arrived. Clicks of my camera apparently awakened it. Made two calls that sounded a little like a horse chomping on carrots, which I was able to record.
