Swans

Witness the serene beauty of the Finnish wilderness as we follow a magnificent pair of whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) and their single cygnet through a days in their lives. This intimate portrayal begins on the tranquil shores of a pristine lake, where the devoted swan parents meticulously preen their fluffy offspring, a vital ritual for maintaining healthy plumage and waterproofing.

After their morning ablutions, the family gracefully makes their way onto the grassy banks, foraging for tender vegetation, a common dietary component for these large waterfowl.Their journey then takes them towards the edge of the forest, where they indulge in a feast of wild blueberries, showcasing their adaptability in finding sustenance beyond aquatic plants. As dusk approaches, the swans return to the safety and comfort of the lake, their natural habitat.

The video concludes with a heartwarming montage of photographs, illustrating the rapid growth of the cygnet from a downy hatchling to a nearly full-grown juvenile, a testament to the parents' diligent care and the cycle of life in the wild.
