In Response To: Re: Swans on Ice: Can they take off? (The Regal Swan)

Hi Nancy

Swans need approximately 100 yards of free clearance for take-off. So, yes they can use the ice as a runway and a landing strip. The major issue is if they have enough room to exit the small watering hole to get onto the ice without the surrounding ice collapsing. The Regal Swan
