A pair of Whooper Swans

This photo was taken in a cultivated field about 25km from Sapporo on April 4, 2010. Around this time of the year, swans and geese visit this area for stopovers. I counted more than 200 swans and about 10 Greater White-fronted Geese. In a few weeks time, they gradually move north on the Island of Hokkaido and travel further north to their breeding grounds in Siberia.
