Large and heavy swan, breeding in most temperate areas of Europe. Largest native populations in Russia, many birds in Western Europe descendant from domesticated populations. Occurs in two colour-morphs, the grey morph has dark legs and grey cygnets, the white or ‘Polish’ morph has pinkish legs and white cygnets and originates from domestication. Feeds on submerged aquatic plants, and by grazing on land where it takes grass, and various agricultural crops. Can be hunted in many countries to prevent crop damage. European population is estimated at 83,400-116,000 pairs, with an increasing trend.
