Description
This is Mrs Sid. Mr & Mrs Sid are the resident mute swans (Cygnus olor) at the marina where I moor my boat and they call several times a day on the off chance we may have some bread going spare. Other than tipping them upside down and taking a look (not advised) you can tell the sexes by the size of the black hump at the top of the beak where it meets the head - males have a distinct 'bulb' shape, females much less so, as shown here.
