There are quite a few of these Whooper Swans about at the moment. I took this Pic Today at one of the ponds up the road from my house. They winter in the UK and then migrate to Iceland for the Summer.
I read about a project where the Wetlands Trust has tagged some of these swans in Northern Ireland and are tracking them on their Journey to Iceland. They say a whooper going full pelt can do the Journey in a day. Not bad eh !
Check out the website, its got a really cool map so you can track the birds.
