Mute Swan Family Exploring the River
Male and Female adult mute swans with two juveniles exploring the River Cherwell beside Mesopotamia Walk in Oxford.
The adult swans can occasionally be heard "grunting" and their young making whistling and chirping sounds.
The swan family first paddle downstream, crossing a fallen tree, and ducking under a low wooden bridge. They settle for a while on the river bank, before paddling back upstream against the current.
Scientific name: Cygnus olor
