My friend Eileen who lives on the Isle of Wight sent me these photographs the other day. A short while ago while I was birding with her on the I.O.W. I showed you a post entitled, "Swan Lake" and this is where she found this Black swan among the Mute Swans.
It is apity it did not turn up when I was there although I am back on the island now with my family so you never know.
Thanks to Eileen for the photographs.
Thank you for visiting and also for leaving comments.
Just like me - a long way from home at Christmas!

It makes a change to see a different coloured Swan Margaret. I'm lucky enough to have a breeding pair of free roaming Black Swans located just a few miles away. Sadly, I think they only managed to raise one signet this year...[;o)
ReplyDeleteHe sure does stand out :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, what an unusual sight. I wonder where the rest of his family is?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a black swan, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Black Swan absolutely stunning...
ReplyDeleteso pretty!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sight, indeed. Eileen got some great shots.
ReplyDeleteThe Black Swan looks a little crowded there. Wonderful shots of the swans.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. And how nice to see a black swan, so far from home, and fitting in well. Thank you - to you and to Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThat first one would make a great card Margaret!
ReplyDeletea nice contrast to see the black one among the others.
