The mute swan is Britain�s only resident swan. It is one of the world's heaviest flying birds, growing up to 160 cms. in length and up to 18 kg. in weight. Can be found in town parks, village ponds, rivers and lakes where it makes a large nest on the bank of twigs and vegetation. Between March and June the female lays two to seven greenish coloured eggs. Incubation takes thirty five days and the cygnets fly about four months later. The mute swan feeds on water plants, seeds and grasses, and also on amphibians and invertebrates. It was known for a long time as �bird royal�, and this still applies as all mute swans on the River Thames belong either to the Queen or to one of two livery companies. The two other types of swan seen in Britain are winter visitors. The Whooper, which is the same size as the mute and the Bewick, which is smaller. � *Text*16 � Draw� Hilighter � \ � � \
