Black Swan among Mute Swans

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.

  2. 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)

  8. Gorgeous. And how nice to see a black swan, so far from home, and fitting in well. Thank you - to you and to Eileen.
