Mute swan is not really a great name for such a beautiful bird - apparently it was given this name as it was not as vocal as other species of Swan, but I can't help think that the individual who gave this bird its name was desperately lacking in imagination. Perhaps this individual had already used all of their creative thoughts in naming other birds and animals and had got to the stage where they were clutching at straws. What would you have called this beautiful creature if given the chance to give it a name to match its grace and elegance?
