I have shared some of my lovely swans in the last couple of weeks.
Whooper and Mute... are beautiful white swans to see and I am so lucky to have Black Swans on my patch... originally from Australia.
A few years ago (2008) I had a week long holiday in Norfolk.
During my stay I had a visit to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve.
At the time home to the BBC programme Springwatch.
This post is to share another wonderful Swan.... originally from South America.
Black-necked Swan (Cygnus melancoryphus)
Swans really are wonderful birds to see.

I never in my life knew of such a swan, I am in awe literally of this beautiful bird. Thank you for introducing me Andrew. A lovely place, lovely photos and your header photo is stunning. Have a great weekend.
Nice to see the swan, and the collection of colours relating to the swan.
Never seen a two tone swan before.
Lovely picture.
Back in 2003 I enjoyed the black swans of Lakes Taupo and Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island.
Wow he's a Beauty!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I didn't even know that kind existed! It's so beautiful, thanks for showing!
Very beautiful. Thank you for digging that one up.
a fabulous looking swan. Never seen it in photos or on documentaries before. This seems like a very special find; how elegant! Thanks for sharing Andrew.
What a lovely swan!
We have seen a Black Swan in certain areas of Peterborough before now, but not for a while, maybe it has gone back to Australia? ;)
