Mute swan
A kind of swan
About
The mute swan is a heavy white waterfowl known for its long neck and large body.
It ranks among the heaviest flying birds in the world. Males are typically larger than females and carry a more prominent black knob on top of their orange bills. Because of their heavy bodies, they need a long running start across the water surface to gather enough speed for takeoff.
From Wikipedia
