The water level is very high after a long and snow-rich winter. The photo does not show a lake but crop fields under water. Perfect for Whooper Swans and Bean Geese to feed on during their northward journey through Sweden. Also a few White-fronted Geese and perhaps a Bewick's Swan can be heard in the recording. The "dabbling" sound in the foreground is from feeding swans.
