How's about it? You Mute me Whooper! You&#039;ll never confuse them again. Here we have the Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus) and the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor). Note the longer neck of the Whooper in the background and the angle of the head. Look at the colouration of the bill as well. The Whooper Swan is more goose-like and much more agile than the Mute: it is &quot;wilder&quot; and a regular winter visitor, mainly from Iceland.

Whoop, Whoop!! The Whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) is fairly similar to a goose and amongst other distinctions differs from the Mute swan with its straight neck whilst swimming or walking.

Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum) This garlic really thrives here. Also called Bear&#039;s garlic (as defined by its Latin name), or Gypsy&#039;s onions to quote but a few; it is the leaves of this plant that are eaten rather than the bulb as in the case of its domestic counterpart.
