Counting a Gargle of Swans

I counted thirty eight in this blip.

There are a few different terms for a group of swans, depending on where they are and what they’re doing.
A herd, bevy or flock of swans are the most popular terms. Swans in flight are often called a wedge or a flight, and swans on the ground are sometimes called a bank, likely because they flock next to the banks of rivers and lakes and lochs. Other terms according to the RSPB are a lamentation, a whiteness or a gargle. 
My favourite is a gargle. That’s what I’m going with.
