In Response To: Re: Can you identify the sex or variety of mute swan from these pictures? (The Regal Swan)

Hi David:

Yes, juvenile swans are around 1-2 years of age. It might be that one of the juveniles is a female and the other is a male. Juveniles will also not have the pronounced knob as an adult will have, so this could still be indicative of a very young bird. The Regal Swan
